Detective Stories – Curious Crimes

The Detective has been a mainstay of fiction writing ever since we can remember. Their deductive powers, their intuition and fleet-footed grasp of every detail can often turn the unlikeliest situation, or bunch of red herrings, into a breakthrough to capture even the most ingenious and dastardly of criminals. In this series our classic authors explore not only various themes, such as Occult Detectives, Female Detectives, Curious Crimes and a whole host more, but also bring a range and depth to the whole culture of criminality as we send in the Long Arm of the Law to bring justice on behalf of the society it serves. In this volume our intrepid sleuths are involved in cracking open some very curious crimes. 1 - The Detective - Curious Crimes - An Introduction 2 - The Affair at the Novelty Theatre by Baroness Orczy 3 - The Stolen White Elephant by Mark Twain 4 - A Medical Crime by J Storer Clouston 5 - Cheese - Bait For The Beast by Ethel Lina White 6 - Sergeant Dobbin Works It Out by J Jefferson Farjeon 7 - The Sapient Monkey by Headon Hill 8 - The Leak by Jacques Futrelle 9 - The Tragedy On the London and Mid-Northern by Victor L Whitechurch 10 - Five Hundred Carats by George Griffiths 11 - The Invisible Weapon by Nicholas Olde 12 - Exchange Is Robbery by Richard Marsh
