Detective Stories – Mysteries

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 what at first seems like a mystery is carefully unravelled by our clever and savvy sleuths. 1 - The Detective - Mysteries - An Introduction 2 - The Final Problem by Arthur Conan Doyle 3 - Death At 8.30 by Christopher St John Sprigg 4 - Mr Bovey's Unexpected Will by L T Meade and Robert Eustace 5 - The Invisible Weapon by Nicholas Olde 6 - The Coin of Dionysius by Ernest Bramah 7 - The Leak by Jacques Futrelle 8 - The Moving Finger by Rose Champion de Crespigny 9 - The Tragedy On the London and Mid-Northern by Victor L Whitechurch 10 - The Mysterious Death on the Underground Railroad by Baroness Emmuska Orczy 11 - The Absence of Mr Glass by G K Chesterton 12 - The Blue Monkey by Frank Howel Evans 13 - The Case of Mr Foggatt by Arthur Morrison 14 - Five Hundred Carats by George Griffiths 15 - The Arrest of Arsene Lupin by Maurice LeBlanc 16 - The Case of Roger Carboyne by H Greenhaugh Smith 17 - Strychnine for Village Dogs by Arthur Gask 18 - The Sapient Monkey by Headon Hill
