Description
Discover the pioneering detective stories from Europe's golden age of crime fiction. Foreign Bodies brings together rare and exceptional tales from the 20th century, many translated for the first time to appear in this volume.
Translated crime fiction has gained popularity in recent years, but these stories were once unknown to a wider audience. This collection sheds light on the high-quality detective novels published across Europe before Scandi noir became popular.
With many of these stories exceptionally rare and now available in English for the first time, Foreign Bodies offers a unique glimpse into the early days of the genre.
