Beschreibung

<p><strong>This annual anthology of rare stories of crime and suspense brings together tales from the Golden Age of Detective Fiction for the first time in book form, including a short novel by Christianna Brand.</strong></p><p>Mystery stories have been around for centuries-there are whodunits, whydunits and howdunits, including locked-room puzzles, detective stories without detectives, and crimes with a limited choice of suspects.</p><p>Countless volumes of such stories have been published, but some are still impossible to find: stories that appeared in a newspaper, magazine or an anthology that has long been out of print; ephemeral works such as plays not aired, staged or screened for decades; and unpublished stories that were absorbed into an author's archive when they died . . .</p><p>Here for the first time are three never-before-published mysteries by Edmund Crispin, Ngaio Marsh and Leo Bruce, and two pieces written for radio by Gladys Mitchell and H. C. Bailey-the latter featuring Reggie Fortune.</p><p>Together with a newly unearthed short story by Ethel Lina White that inspired Hitchcock's <em>The Lady Vanishes</em>, and a complete short novel by Christianna Brand, this diverse mix of tales by some of the world's most popular classic crime writers contains something for everyone.</p><p>Complete with indispensable biographies by Tony Medawar of all the featured authors, the fourth volume in the series <em>Bodies from the Library</em> once again brings into the daylight the forgotten, the lost and the unknown.</p>
