"The Thinking Machine" AKA Professor Augustus S.F.X Van Deusen is a collection of stories featuring The Thinking Machine character created by author Jacques Futrelle. Professor Van Deusen somewhat resembles Sherlock Holmes, but the stories are still enjoyable.
In the story "The Problem of Cell 13" The Thinking Machine is challenged to escape from an escape-proof cell. The reader wonders along with the prison warden if the Professor can pull it off.
Sadly, The Thinking Machine stories ended when Mr. Futrelle was killed in the Titanic disaster.
