The Murders in the Rue Margue
"The Murders in the Rue Morgue" is a short story by Edgar Allan Poe published in Graham's Magazine in 1841.It has been recognized as the first modern detective story.
The story surrounds the baffling double murder of Madame L'Espanaye and her daughter in the Rue Morgue,a fictional street in Paris.The murder occurs in an inaccessible room on the fourth floor locked from the inside.Neighbors who hear the murder give contradictory accounts,and they admit to not knowing the language they are claiming to have heard.
Paris natives Dupin and his friend,the unnamed narrator of the story,read these newspaper accounts with interest.Dupin is so intrigued that he offers his services to "G–",the prefect of police.
Dupin concludes none of the witnesses has heard a human voice at all.He finds a hair at the scene of the murder and concludes "this is no human hair".Dupin puts an advertisement in the newspaper asking if anyone has lost an "Ourang-Outang".The ad is answered by a sailor who comes to Dupin at his home.The sailor offers a reward for the orangutan's return; Dupin asks for all the information the sailor has about the murders in the Rue Morgue.The sailor reveals that he had been keeping a captive orangutan obtained while ashore in Borneo.The animal escaped with the sailor's shaving straight razor.When he pursued the orangutan,it escaped by scaling a wall and climbing up a lightning rod,entering the apartment in the Rue Morgue through a window and killed the two women.
