The Problem of Cell 13 by Jacques Futrelle

The Problem of Cell 13 by Jacques Futrelle

Professor Van Dusen, known as “The Thinking Machine,” says that nothing is impossible. So his friends make a bet. They lock him in Cell 13, the most secure cell in the prison, and give him one week to escape. He has seven locked doors, a high stone wall and guards everywhere, and all he has asked for is tooth powder, a little money and his shoes polished. Then strange things start happening: a note drops from his window, a rat appears in the cell, and a ghostly voice whispers through the walls.

The cleverest escape in mystery stories, retold for readers aged 8–12 and illustrated in crayon and pencil.
