Murder in the Submarine Zone (also published as "Nine—And Death Makes Ten" and "Murder in the Atlantic") is a mystery novel by the American writer John Dickson Carr (1906–1977), who published it under the name of Carter Dickson. It is a whodunnit and features the series detective Sir Henry Merrivale.
John Dickson Carr was born in the year 1905.
It's definitely incorrect because in the parentheses it says (1906-1977), so he was born in 1906. It's difficult because 1905 is close to 1906 I guess.
