Автор: [автор не указан] Год: 2012 Издание:Collector's Library Страниц: 584 ISBN: 9781907360688 This collection takes the reader back to the time when crime fiction was glamorous, romantic and intriguing, and had more of an element of the dark fairy tale about it than it does today. The detectives were not, as the current crop seem to be, damaged individuals with demons of their own, investigating sadistic and brutal crimes. These vintage sleuth hounds were eccentric, attractive and remarkable individuals who, without the aid of modern technology, by pure brainwork alone, were able to solve the most puzzling of mysteries. This is escapist entertainment of the finest quality.
