Detective Stories – Volume 1

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. 01 - The Detective - Volume 1 - An Introduction 02 - Private Water by A J Alan 03 - The Mystery of Chenholt by Alice and Claude Askew 04 - The Murder in an Omnibus by Harold Begbie 05 - The Message on the Sun-Dial by J J Bell 06 - John Silence, Physican Extraordinary by Algernon Blackwood 07 - How He Cut His Stick by M McDonell Bodkin Q C 16 - The Coin of Dionysius by Ernest Bramah 09 - The Pit in the Garden by A M Burrage 10 - The Secret Cell - Part 1 by William E Burton 11 - The Secret Cell - Part 2 by William E Burton 12 - The Honour of Israel Gow by G K Chesterton 13 - A Medical Crime by J Storer Clouston 14 - Before Insulin by J J Connington 15 - A Broken Trust by Elizabeth Corbett 16 - The Moving Finger by Rose Champion de Crespigny
