Vintage Mystery e Detective: Story - Importado

DAVID STUART DAVIES

A richly entertaining and exciting collection of mystery and detective stories from the golden age of crime fiction. This was a period when crimes were solved by the wit and ingenuity of the sleuth who only had his own intelligence to rely on rather than a battery of scientific devices and procedures employed by the modern crime solver.
Within these pages you will meet such fascinating sleuths as G.K. Chesterton´s Mr Pond, Ernest Bramah´s remarkable blind detective, Max Carrados, who can read newspapers by allowing his sensitive fingers to run over the print, Craig Kennedy, ´the American Sherlock Holmes´ created by Arthur B. Reeve, and Jacques Futrelle´s Professor S.F.X. Van Dusen, ´The Thinking Machine´ amongst others. Tales by Charles Dickens, Wilkie Collins, Arnold Bennett, Rudyard Kipling, Edgar Allan Poe and Arthur Conan Doyle will thrill and puzzle you.
