From a previously unpublished 1917 script featuring Ernest Bramah’s blind detective Max Carrados, to early 1950s crime stories written for London’s Evening Standard b...

  • <p><strong>This anthology of rare stories of crime and suspense brings together 18 tales from the Golden Age of Detective Fiction for the first time in book form, including uncollected stories by Ngaio Marsh and John Dickson Carr.</strong></p> <p>The Golden Age of detective fiction had begun inauspiciously with the publication of E.C. Bentley’s schismatic <em>Trent’s Last Case</em> in 1913, but it hit its stride in 1920 when both Agatha Christie and Freeman Wills Crofts ? latterly crowned queen and king of the genre ? had crime novels published for the first time. They ushered in two decades of exemplary mystery writing, the era of the whodunit, the impossible crime and the locked-room mystery, with stories that have thrilled and baffled generations of readers.</p> <p>This new volume in the <em>Bodies from the Library</em> series features the work of 18 prolific authors who, like Christie and Crofts, saw their popularity soar during the Golden Age. Aside from n...

  • <p><strong>Classic crime fiction's 'Indiana Jones' Tony Medawar unearths more unpublished and uncollected stories from the Golden Age of suspense, including John Bude, John Dickson Carr, Dorothy L. Sayers and Julian Symons.</strong></p> <p><strong>‘Five books in, and the selection here might well be the strongest yet.
