[Dr. Twist 10] • The Picture from the Past

What is there about the photograph of a street from a bygone era that obsesses John Braid? Why does he conceal his true profession from his newly-wed wife? And what, if any connection is there with the “acid bath murderer” who has already taken six lives? And why does a tale from the past show such eerie similarities to what is happening in the present.

'The Picture from the Past' is the ninth Paul Halter novel to be published in English by Locked Room International. The author, a best-selling novelist in his native France, has written over thirty novels, almost all ‘locked room’ or ‘impossible crime,’ and is widely regarded as the successor to John Dickson Carr.
