The First Detective:
Three Stories by
Edgar Allan Poe
Three stories in The First Detective all center on the first full-blown freelance detective in literature, Arsène Dupin.
Sherlock Holmes stories mirror the setup that Poe created:
-
A lead character over-cerebrating
A bumbling companion
A circumstance quite out of the ordinary.
A police official who asks for help.
