A man is forbidden to uncover the secret of the tower in a
fairy-tale castle by the Rhine. A headless corpse is found in a
secret garden in Paris - belonging to the city's chief of police.
And a drowned man is fished from the sea off the Italian Riviera,
leaving the carabinieri to wonder why his socialite friends at the
Villa Almirante are so unconcerned by his death. These are three of
the scenarios in this new collection of vintage crime stories
compiled by Martin Edwards. Detective stories from the golden age
and beyond have used European settings - cosmopolitan cities, rural
idylls and crumbling chateaux - to explore timeless themes of
revenge, deception and haunting. Including lesser-known stories by
Arthur Conan Doyle, G.K. Chesterton, and J. Jefferson Farjeon - and
over a dozen other classic writers - this collection reveals many
hidden gems of British crime.
