书籍简介

索德伯里十字大街商店里的一箱致命的有毒巧克力困扰着聚集在“桃子爱好者”马库斯·切斯尼果园中的贝勒加德的一群朋友和亲戚。 为了证明这些糖果是如何在店主眼皮子底下中毒的，切斯尼精心设计了一场记忆游戏，以测试他的客人是否能看到“黑眼镜”之外的东西； 也就是说，以目击者的身份不带假设地看到真相。

在测试期间（也正在拍摄）切斯尼被他的同伙谋杀，他从头到脚都穿着“隐形人”的伪装。 需要吉迪恩·菲尔博士的敏锐智慧来破解这起在众目睽睽之下发生的离奇的谋杀案。

这部经典小说也因其美国书名《绿色胶囊的问题》而闻名，被广泛认为是约翰·迪克森·卡尔的杰作之一，并且仍然是有史以来不可能的犯罪悬疑小说之一。

A sinister case of deadly poisoned chocolates from Sodbury Cross’s high street shop haunts the group of friends and relatives assembled at Bellegarde, among the orchards of 'peach-fancier' Marcus Chesney. To prove a point about how the sweets could have been poisoned under the nose of the shopkeeper, Chesney stages an elaborate memory game to test whether any of his guests can see beyond their 'black spectacles'; that is, to see the truth without assumptions as witnesses.

During the test – which is also being filmed – Chesney is murdered by his accomplice, dressed head to toe in an 'invisible man' disguise. The keen wits of Dr Gideon Fell are called for to crack this brazen and bizarre murder committed in full view of an audience.

Also known by its US title The Problem of the Green Capsule, this classic novel is widely regarded as one of John Dickson Carr’s masterpieces and remains among the greatest impossible crime mysteries of all time.

作者简介

约翰·迪克森·卡尔（John Dickson Carr，1906-1977 年）是一位广受欢迎且多产的犯罪小说作家，被认为是“黄金时代”悬疑小说出色的作家之一。 卡尔出生于美国宾夕法尼亚州，但在英国生活期间，他的悬疑小说写作风格形成了明显的“英国”风格，并成为仅有的两名加入侦探俱乐部的美国人之一。

John Dickson Carr (1906–1977) was a hugely popular and prolific author of crime fiction, regarded as one of the finest writers of ‘Golden Age’ mysteries. Though born in Pennsylvania, USA, Carr developed a distinctly ‘British’ style to his mystery writing from his time living in England and became one of only two Americans ever admitted to the Detection Club.
