Description
> This book offers a wide range of historical detective stories set in ancient Rome, the Far East, medieval England, and the American colonies. Readers will be taken as far afield as the Pacific Ocean on the voyages of Captain Cook, and as far back as Australia in 35,000 BC, in what must be the earliest-ever setting for a murder mystery. >*Historical Detectives* is organized into three parts: the Ancient World, the Middle Ages, and the Age of Discovery. Included are stories by such renowned writers as Ellis Peters, who unravels a fourteenth-century witch trial; Margaret Frazer, whose Sister Frevisse undertakes a medieval Oxford murder mystery; and Edward Hoch, who turns Ben Snow, his cowboy investigator, loose on the range. >Containing a feast of detective stories, spread over 37,000 years, this collection will fascinate mystery readers, armchair historians, and literati alike.
