ROGER GUERRIN died alone in a locked and guarded room, beyong the reach of human hands. Algy Lawrence, with sleepy eyes and a lazy grin, refused to believe in ghosts. Yet with all his detailed knowledge of sealed room trickery, he could not explain the mystery of this "miracle" murder. And then faced with a second crime which could not possibley have been committed, he began to wonder, at last, if somebody had conjured up an invisible demon who could blast out locks and walk through solid walls...
Whistle up the Devil is an ingenious brain-teaser which plays completely fair with the reader.
作者简介德里克·史密斯(1927-2003),本名德里克·豪·史密斯,英国侦探小说作家、密室研究家。史密斯深受约翰·狄克森·卡尔的影响,创作了挑战不可能犯罪的长篇处女作《召唤恶魔》(1953),在许多密室书单上都可以见到其身影。但是,之后创作的长篇小说《致命舞台》和《雕塑家之死》一直未能在欧美正式出版,只有前者于1997年在日本私人出版,因数量稀少成为价格不菲的珍本书。直到2014年,史密斯三部作品英文版才在美国推出,同时中文版也与中国读者见面。
