Now comes some of the most astonishing work by the sensational John Dickson Carr: The Unexpected Instinct completes the project of collecting Carr's earliest fiction, begun by Douglas Greene in 1980 with The Door to Doom and Other Detections. This new collection reveals Carr's love of historical adventure, fantasy, even satire-and of course, it includes more of his earliest mystery fiction. The reader will encounter among its sixteen selections two newly discovered works, including Carr's long-lost third Sherlock Holmes parody.
