龙杀人事件(The Dragon Murder Case)简介： This is a great, classic detective story. Written in 1933, it captures characters of 1933 New York City well. Fun to read.

范达因（S.S.Van Dine），美国推理小说之父，《菲洛·万斯探案集》是他惟一的代表作，也是古典推理小说的集大成之作。他将推理小说中的理性成分演绎到极至，这个成就“前无古人，后无来者”。范达因所撰写的《推理小说二十条守则》是推理小说史上最全面、最完整、最严谨的写作戒律，同时也被奎恩等后来者奉为指导其毕生写作的“圣经”。
