The Matter of the Bandersnatch Burglar: Heinz Noonan Impossible Crime Short Stories

By Steve Levi

How can a man drown in a hot air balloon? Can a boxcar disappear off a moving train, and is it possible for flying horses on a merry-go-round to fly away? These are just some of the impossible crimes Detective Heinz Noonan, the Bearded Holmes, is called upon to solve. Every story has all the clues necessary to see if you can solve the impossible crime as fast as the detective! (And if you can't, you'll have to read to the end of the story!) Want more! Then there's the mystery of why anyone would steal water from a water truck night after night. And why would someone steal 40 pairs of shoes from a thrift store? How could 16 bars of gold vanish from a vault, and how is a vegetarian anaconda part of a robbery scheme? Here are 15 short stories of impossible crimes to give you the chance to prove you are brighter than the detective!

Steve Levi

Steve Levi has spent more than 40 years researching and writing about Alaska's history. He specializes in the ground-level approach to events. His book Bonfire Saloon is a saloon floor-level book of authentic Alaska Gold Rush characters in a Nome saloon on March 3, 1903. His book, The Human Face of the Alaska Gold Rush, is a compendium of people and events that are usually left out of scholarly books. He is also a scholar on the forgotten decade, 1910 to 1920, the most violent era in American history, which included four major bombings, widespread terrorist activity, and the birth of the labor movement. A Rat's Nest of Rails focuses on how the construction of the Alaska Railroad survived the era – and thrived!
