About Detective Stories – Police Investigation: Truth and justice by way of clues

The Detective has been a mainstay of fiction writing ever since we can remember. Their deductive powers, their intuition and fleet-footed grasp of every detail can often turn the unlikeliest situation, or bunch of red herrings, into a breakthrough to capture even the most ingenious and dastardly of criminals. In this series our classic authors explore not only various themes, such as Occult Detectives, Female Detectives, Curious Crimes and a whole host more, but also bring a range and depth to the whole culture of criminality as we send in the Long Arm of the Law to bring justice on behalf of the society it serves. In this volume Police Investigation is put under the microscope and some revealing methods explained. 1 - The Detective - Police Investigation - An Introduction 2 - The Secret Cell - Part 1 by William E Burton 3 - The Secret Cell - Part 2 by William E Burton 4 - Parlour Tricks by Ralph Plummer 5 - The Absence of Mr Glass by G K Chesterton 6 - The Coin of Dionysius by Ernest Bramah 7 - The Mystery of Chenholt by Alice and Claude Askew 8 - The Stir Outside the Cafe Royal by Clarence Rook 9 - Cheese - Bait For The Beast by Ethel Lina White 10 - The Case of Mr Foggatt by Arthur Morrison 11 - The Mystery of A Midsummer Night by George R Sims 12 - Strychnine for Village Dogs by Arthur Gask
