La Murdoj de Kadavrejo-Strato

by Edgar Allan Poe

Translated by Edwin Grobe

"La Murdoj de Kadavrejo-Strato" by Edgar Allan Poe is a short story published in Graham's Magazine in 1841. Considered the first modern detective story, it follows the brilliant detective C. Auguste Dupin as he investigates the brutal double murder of two women in their Paris apartment. At the crime scene, Dupin discovers hair that doesn't appear human. The story introduces many conventions that would define detective fiction, including a narrator who is the detective's personal friend.
