Best detective stories of the year : 21st annual collection

Rare Books

"In this, Anthony Boucher's fourth collection of the best in mystery and suspense short fiction, the New York Times critic proves again that a good mystery story is a work of art. For each of the stories chosen is distinguished not only by plot but by the atmosphere and quality of the writing. Mr. Boucher covered the field in order to find the most outstanding candidates: he picked from the leading mystery magazines and from book-length publications. The range is wide: from the well-represented formal detective story to the pure suspense tale; from the grimly realistic to the ironically macabre; from the private eye to the parody-pastiche"--Dust jacket.

Rare Books

Hurled back in time, a London police detective struggles to solve a nineteenth-century murder mystery in Golden Age master John Dickson Carr's thrilling mystery novel. A woman is killed in a well-lit corridor, dying before the eyes of three witnesses who, impossibly, detect no foul play. For more than a century, this baffling murder lies cold in the files of Scotland Yard until it is discovered by Detective-Superintendent John Cheviot, who yearns to apply modern scientific policing to the grisly old case. He is about to get his chance. Taking a cab to Scotland Yard, Cheviot steps out in front of Old Scotland Yard and sees a beautiful woman beckoning him. Suddenly it is 1829 and Cheviot is a member of the newly organized London police force. He might now have an opportunity to solve the most puzzling murder in the Yard's history, but in a time before fingerprints and ballistic analysis, he will find police work to be far more baffling and brutal than he is used to.
