Serling Lake is a UK-based independent publisher dedicated to the preservation and revival of impossible crime and locked-room mystery fiction. Our catalogue focuses on the foundational years of the genre, before it was perfected by masters like John Dickson Carr, Agatha Christie, and Ellery Queen. This was a fascinating period of experimentation in which authors tested the boundaries of the impossible and established the rules of the game. By making these works accessible once more, we seek to provide mystery enthusiasts with a collection that reflects the true richness, variety, and intellectual challenge of the genre's evolution. We produce our editions with respect for the original texts while presenting them in formats suitable for modern readers, available in both print and ebook.
