Locked Room
The locked room story is a most intellectual type of mystery. A subcategory of the how-done-it, it challenges the reader to figure out how a crime could take place in an apparently sealed enclosure. First presented as fiction by Edgar Allan Poe in "The Murders in the Rue Morgue" (1841), it has constituted the majority of John Dickson Carr's enormous output.
In science fiction, of course, it is possible to offer solutions that are grossly unfair, such as invisibility, dema-terialization, and time travel. However, as the following tale by the masterful Larry Niven indicates, it is also quite possible to estabhsh legitimate puzzles. Even when, as in this case, the protagonist sports an invisible telekinetic arm. Indeed, the field is full of problem stories that require the reader to deduce foreseeable methods of escaping from unpleasant situations.
