Jacques Futrelle (1875–1912) is widely considered “the American Sherlock Holmes” for his series of stories about Professor Augustus S. F. X. Van Dusen, who is better known as The Thinking Machine. Van Dusen, a master of logic, believed he could think himself out of any situation — and solve any crime — using his immense intellect. Through dozens of stories, The Thinking Machine solved locked-room puzzles, kidnappings, and more murders than can be easily counted, proving again and again that brain-power is the answer to any problem.

This volume collects 47 short stories and novels, including many stories featuring The Thinking Machine. Assembled here are:
