A manipulative murderer who stalked the streets of Paris; a
young wife who poisoned her eccentric husband; a bank
cashier’s mysterious suicide; a brutal double murder in
New Zealand… Seven of the world’s greatest crime writers
turn their hand to some of the world’s most spine-tingling
mysteries – all of them astonishingly TRUE. This remarkable
collection from the archives of the Detection Club follows The
Floating Admiral, Ask a Policeman and Six Against the Yard
back into print after more than 75 years, and shows some of
the most accomplished authors of their generation retelling
real-life murder mysteries with all the relish of the tastiest
crime fiction.
About The Author:
“The Detection Club is a private
association of writers of detective
fiction in Great Britain, existing
chiefly for the purpose of eating
dinners together at suitable
intervals and of talking illimitable
shop … Its membership is confined
to those who have written genuine
detective stories (not adventure
tales or ‘thrillers’) and election
is secured by a vote of the club
on recommendation by two or
more members, and involves the
undertaking of an oath.” Dorothy L.
Sayers
