Description
A collection of rare stories from the Golden Age of Detective Fiction brings together 18 tales for the first time in book form. This anthology features uncollected works by Ngaio Marsh and John Dickson Carr, alongside other prolific authors who dominated the genre during its heyday. The stories within this volume showcase a range of detective styles and themes, including whodunits, impossible crimes, and locked-room mysteries. You'll encounter classic series detectives and some lesser-known characters, all set against the backdrop of a bygone era. This diverse collection includes a full-length novella by John Dickson Carr, an unpublished radio script, and early 'flash fiction' commissioned by Collins' Crime Club. With its unique blend of established names and hidden gems, this anthology offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of Golden Age detective fiction.
