From Publishers Weekly

Living legend Hoch's ingenuity is front and center in Crippen & Landru's second collection of his beloved Dr. Sam Hawthorne short stories (after 1996's Diagnosis: Impossible). Hoch was challenged by the late Fred Dannay to make all his Hawthorne tales impossible crime puzzles, and he has proven himself more than up to the task, with stories featuring such riddles as a midair stabbing in a locked airplane cockpit and the disappearance of all occupants of a houseboat that was never out of sight of the country doctor sleuth himself. Newcomers will enjoy pitting their wits against Hoch's young but savvy detective and the seemingly supernatural crimes he routinely encounters.

Book Description

Dr. Sam Hawthorne, a New England country doctor in the first half of the twentieth century, was constantly faced by murders in locked rooms, impossible disappearances, and other so-called “miracle crimes.” More Things Impossible contains fifteen of Dr. Sam’s extraordinary cases solved between 1927 and 1931, including – impossible murder in a house that whispers; poisoning by a gargoyle on the courthouse roof; the case of the Devil in the windmill; the houseboat that resembles the Mary Celeste; the affair of the vanishing Gypsies; stabbing in the locked cockpit of a plane in midair; a ghostly pirate in a lighthouse; ad eight other ingenious riddles.

Edward D. Hoch is a legend of ingenuity in the world of mystery writing. Author of more than 800 short stories, winner of the Edgar Award, former President of the Mystery Writers of America, and contributor to every issue of Ellery Queen’s Mystery Magazine since 1973, Hoch is one of the great mystery writers of our time.
