About the Book

Il s'en passe de belles chez les Darney: lueurs fantomatiques, bruits de pas dans le grenier ! L'esprit d'Eleanor, retrouvée poignardée, hante-t-il les lieux ? Sans doute son fantôme ne peut-il trouver de repos après cette fin tragique, non élucidée, dans les combles fermés de l'intérieur ! Cette réputation ne rebute pas le couple Latimer qui s'installe dans la maison. Normal, Alice Latimer est médium ! Le propriétaire organise une séance de spiritisme, au cours de laquelle Patrick Latimer se laisse enfermer dans la pièce hantée... Une surprise de taille attend les témoins lorsqu'elle sera rouverte. Mais elle ne sera que le prélude à une cascade de mystères qui va déferler de manière quasi ininterrompue sur l'esprit malmené du lecteur... jusqu'au tout dernier mot du récit. Roman à tiroirs, festival d'énigmes en tout genre, hommage au magicien Houdini autant qu'au regretté John Dickson Carr, cette QUATRIÈME PORTE ravira les amateurs du genre les plus exigeants. Traduite dans une dizaine de langues, elle été couronnée par le Prix du Festival de Cognac en 1987.

Paul Halter est né à Haguenau en 1956. Digne héritier des auteurs anglais du siècle dernier, il a publié au Masque une quarantaine de romans policiers, baignant souvent dans une atmosphère fantastique et faisant une large part aux mystères en chambre close . Il a remporté en 1987, avec La Quatrième porte, le Prix du Festival de Cognac, et en 1988, avec Le Brouillard Rouge, le Grand Prix du roman d'aventures. Le Masque de l'année lui sera attribué pour Les Larmes de Sibyl en 2005. L'intérêt suscité par son oeuvre a traversé les frontières et nombre de ses romans ont été traduits dans plusieurs pays, notamment en Italie, au Japon, en Chine et aux USA. Au Japon, à quatre reprises, il a remporté la première place de l' Authentic Mystery Best 10 de Hara Shobo, avec La Quatrième porte (2003), La Mort vous invite (2004), Le Brouillard rouge (2005) et La Chambre du fou (2008).
