Summary:
In
classic
British crime fiction, dazzling detective work is often the province of a brilliant amateur - whereas the humble
police
detective cuts a hapless figure. The twelve
stories
collected here strike a blow for the professionals, with teasing mysteries to challenge a hard-working
police
officer's persistence and scrupulous attention to detail. As in his previous anthologies for the British Library Crime Classics series, Martin Edwards introduces readers to fascinating neglected gems of British crime writing as well as uncovering lesser-known
stories
by the great novelists of the golden age. Each of these
stories
combines realism with entertainment, skilfully blending the conduct of a criminal investigation with a compelling murder-mystery plot.
