Rocket to the Morgue
''Rocket to the Morgue'' is a 1942 American locked room mystery novel by Anthony Boucher (originally published as by "H. H. Holmes", Boucher's frequent pseudonym when writing mysteries or writing about mysteries, and the pseudonym of a 19th-century American serial killer).
== Plotline ==
Now-dead author Fowler Foulkes and his creation Dr. Derringer occupy a position in science fiction somewhat similar to that of Conan Doyle and Sherlock Holmes, or Edgar Rice Burroughs and Tarzan. The character has entered popular culture, and is known around the world, and the author's heir takes a fiercely protective and quite predatory view of the value of this heritage. (This dog-in-the-manger situation resembles the contemporary reports of the attitudes of Burroughs and of Doyle's heir().) Foulkes' son Hilary has made many enemies due to his inflexibility and greed. His niece Jenny lives in the Foulkes house and works as Hilary's private secretary, is devoted to him, but her fiance and his brother-in-law, D. Vance Wimpole (a science fiction writer), wants money (to pay off blackmailers); and he's recently had unpleasant encounters with two other local science fiction authors, Matt Duncan and Joe Henderson, at their expense. After two suspicious "accidents", Hilary suspects that his life is in danger, and asks for police help. Police Detective Inspector Terry Marshall (a casual acquaintance of Matt Duncan, who appeared in ''Nine Times Nine'') arrives at the house just as a ticking "box of chocolates" is delivered.
The novel features two investigators from Boucher/Holmes' earlier locked door mystery ''Nine Times Nine'': Sister Ursula of the convent of the fictitious Sisters of Martha of Bethany, and police detective Terence "Terry" Marshall. (Sister Ursula is the daughter of a policeman and had intended to become a policewoman herself before deciding that she had a higher calling to the religious life.)
