Description

Tony Medawar's latest collection brings together five forgotten stories of mystery and suspense from the Golden Age of detection. This series continues to showcase Medawar's expertise in uncovering high-quality, unpublished gems from the era of the whodunit, the impossible crime, and the locked-room mystery. The Golden Age of detective fiction, spanning two decades, saw a surge in popularity and inventiveness among its best authors. Many of these writers still remain popular today, and their short fiction, including stories, serials, and plays, has been largely republished in books over the years. This collection, however, focuses on the rare and hard-to-find stories that appeared in newspapers, magazines, or out-of-print anthologies, offering a unique glimpse into the genre's rich history. Fans of the genre will find something to enjoy in this latest installment, which joins a growing collection of previously unpublished and uncollected stories from the Golden Age of suspense.
