SLEUTHING WITH STYLE

Sherlock Holmes, with his unfailing powers of observation and deduction, and the faithful Dr. Watson at his side... Lord Peter Wimsey, unknotting the most tangled mysteries with aristocratic ease and elegance... Hercule Poirot, with his king-sized ego and even more imposing intelligence... Loveday Brooke, the first great woman detective... Dr. Fell, the heavyweight champion of sleuths...

These are some of the famous figures gathered together in a collection that demonstrates the genius for both outstanding characterization and intricate puzzle-making that has made England the world capital of the detective story. From the fogbound streets of London to the windswept moors, from great country mansions to squalid slums, you are invited on a grand masters' tour of spellbinding suspense and satisfying solutions.
