June 13, 1953. Collier's Magazine, with this cover date, featured "The Adventure of the Sealed Room" by Adrian Conan Doyle and John Dickson Carr. It was part of a series of stories about the Master all co-written by the original author's son and the master of locked room mysteries. They were collected under the title
The Exploits of Sherlock Holmes, which always made me wonder: did they know that one meaning of
exploit is "use selfishly for one's own end?"
