FATHER KNOX’S “DECALOGUE”
1) The criminal must be someone mentioned in the early part of the story, but must not be anyone whose thoughts the reader has been allowed to follow
2) All supernatural or preternatural agencies are ruled out as a matter of course
3) Not more than one secret room or passage is allowable
4) No hithero undiscovered poisons should be used, nor any appliance which need a long scientific explanation at the end
5) No Chinaman must figure in the story (Knox’s way of poking fun at thriller writers whose reliance on sinister Oriental villains had already became a cliché)
6) No accident must ever help the detective, nor must he ever have unaccountable intuition which proves to be right
7) The detective must not himself commit the crime
8) The detective must not light on any clues that are not immediately produced for the inspection of the reader
9) The stupid friend, the Watson, must not conceal any thoughts which pass through his mind
10) Twin brothers, and doubles generally, must not appear unless we have duly been prepared for them
