In this collection of mysteries, the greatest detectives of the Golden Age investigate the most puzzling crimes of the era. The investigators in these stories are from all walks of life - retired magicians to schoolteachers, Broadway producers to nuns. Whether professional or amateur, these keen-eyed detectives must get to the bottom of the most baffling cases of their careers. Edgar Award-winning Otto Penzler has hand-picked some of the most illustrious writers of the classic detective story from the Golden Age of mystery fiction. With authors including Ellery Queen, Cornell Woolrich and Erle Stanley Gardner, this gripping collection is sure to delight and entertain mystery fans. ‘In addition to well-known contributors, such as Ellery Queen and Erle Stanley Gardner, Penzler presents memorable tales from the lesser-known’ Publishers Weekly ‘Belongs on the shelf of any true mystery fan, and in the collection of every library’s mystery section.’ Booklist ‘Exemplary.’ Kirkus
