Committed A Crime Hercule Poirot
5,618 wordsWith an exhausted sigh, Dirk Crozier unlocked the door to his business office at exactly 8: 53 to begin another night of work. As he walked through the doorway, he threw his hat in the general direction of his coatrack. It missed, of course, but Crozier didn't bother to pick it up. He carefully walked over the old faded dark-red rug, passing between the two ratty old chairs that he always kept for any customers, and slowly moved around his desk to his own chair.

J J Detective Story
700 wordsAs a classic detective movie, Chinatown involves a hard-boiled setting and a private investigator. The story takes place in Los Angeles, California during the 1930 s.

Black And White Maltese Falcon
2,037 wordsThe Maltese Falcon In my opinion, The Maltese Falcon is the best example of the detective story of the early years of XX century, which was followed by the creation of movie.
