Detective Stories – Robbery

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 savvy sleuths have only one task to solve; Robbery. 1 - The Detective - Robbery - An Introduction 2 - The White Line by John Ferguson 3 - The Affair at the Novelty Theatre by Baroness Orczy 4 - The Ides of March by E W Hornung 5 - A Thing That Glistened by Frank R Stockton 6 - Parlour Tricks by Ralph Plummer 7 - Richard Bruce - Burglar by Edgar Wallace 8 - A Medical Crime by J Storer Clouston 9 - Five Hundred Carats by George Griffiths 10 - The Sapient Monkey by Headon Hill 11 - Strychnine for Village Dogs by Arthur Gask
