The trail of false clues laid by the murderer
Оглавление‘Thou Art the Man’, published in 1844, is not as well known as the other Poe stories but it includes at least two influential concepts: the trail of false clues and the unmasking of the most unlikely suspect. Although a minor theme in many Christie novels, the idea of a murderer leaving a trail of false clues is a major plot device in The ABC Murders and Murder is Easy; and in Towards Zero it is taken to new heights of triple-bluff ingenuity.
