Lord Peter Wimsey, unknotting the most tangled mysteries with aristocratic ease and elegance... Hercule Poirot, with his king-sized ego and even more imposing intelligence... Loveday Brooke, the first great woman detective... Dr. Fell, the heavyweight champion of sleuths... >These are some of the famous figures gathered together in a collection that demonstrates the genius for both outstanding characterization and intricate puzzle-making that has made England the world capital of the detective story.
