About Detective Stories – Volume 5: Gertrude Minnie Robins to Francis Brett Young

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. 01 - The Detective - Volume 5 - An Introduction 02 - The Man With No Face by Gertrude Minnie Robins 03 - The Stir Outside the Cafe Royal by Clarence Rook 04 - The Haverstock Hill Murder by George R Sims 05 - The Case of Roger Carboyne by H Greenhaugh Smith 06 - Death At 8.30 by Christopher St John Sprigg 07 - A Thing That Glistened by Frank R Stockton 08 - Madame Ville D'Aubier by Josephine Tey 09 - The Stolen White Elephant by Mark Twain 10 - The Story of the Green House, Wallington by Allen Upward 11 - Richard Bruce - Burglar by Edgar Wallace 12 - Cheese - Bait For The Beast by Ethel Lina White 13 - The Tragedy On the London and Mid-Northern by Victor L Whitechurch 14 - Lord Arthur Savile's Crime - Part 1 by Oscar Wilde 15 - Lord Arthur Savile's Crime - Part 2 by Oscar Wilde 16 - The Boat Race by David Winser 17 - Inquest by Leonara Wodehouse 18 - A Busman's Holiday by Francis Brett Young
