The Emperor's Snuff-Box is a non-series mystery novel (1942) by mystery novelist John Dickson Carr. The detective is psychologist Dr. Dermot Kinross. The novel takes place in France and concerns a jeweled snuff-box in the shape of a pocket watch said to have belonged to Napoleon. A pretty young Englishwoman living in France forms a romantic attachment and becomes a suspect in the murder of her fiancé's father; the theft of a valuable necklace and the smashing of the snuff-box are also mysteries to be solved. The novel served as the basis for the 1957 film That Woman Opposite, for which Compton Bennett wrote the screenplay.

  • Un coup sur la tabatière — The Emperor's Snuffbox, dans l'édition originale américaine — est un roman policier de John Dickson Carr publié en 1942. Ni Gideon Fell, ni Henry Merrivale, ni Henri Bencolin, les détectives récurrents de l'auteur, n'apparaissent dans ce roman. Le récit évoque le meurtre, par un coup frappé par l’arrière sur le crâne avec un tisonnier, de sir Maurice Lawes, un riche collectionneur qui vit en France avec son épouse Helena et ses enfants Toby et Janice. La récente fiancée de Toby, Eve Neill, est suspectée du crime par le policier français chargé de l'enquête. L'affaire va être dénouée par Dermot Kinross, un psychiatre anglais spécialisé en psychologie criminelle. (fr)
