This anthology spans a gamut of literary styles, from the deductive prowess showcased in Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes stories to the elegant criminality expressed in E. W. Hornung's Raffles series.

The contributing authors, giants in their own right, bring together a rich tapestry of backgrounds that have fundamentally shaped the landscape of mystery and crime literature. Doyle's methodical approach to mystery, Hornung's exploration of the moral ambiguities of crime, and Bangs' injection of humor and irony, together reflect the socio-cultural dynamics and literary movements of the late Victorian and Edwardian eras.

This anthology is an indispensable resource for those who wish to delve deep into the complexities and nuances of early mystery and crime fiction. Offering a unique opportunity to explore a multitude of perspectives, styles, and themes within a single volume, it is an educational journey through the evolution of the genre. Readers are encouraged to engage with this collection not just for its narrative thrills but for its ability to foster dialogue between the intricate worlds crafted by Doyle, Horning, and Bangs.
