Tennyson Jesse through to more modern masterpieces of the subgenre from Christianna Brand and Penelope Wallace, this anthology celebrates one of the liveliest and most imaginative species of classic crime fiction. The collection includes an introduction on animals in detective fiction by Martin Edwards. Since the dawn of the crime fiction genre, animals of all kinds have played a memorable part in countless mysteries, and in a variety of roles: the perpetrator, the key witness, the sleuth's trusted companion. This collection of fourteen stories corrals plots centered around cats, dogs, and insects alongside more exotic incidents involving gorillas, parakeets, and serpents--complete with a customary shoal of red herrings. 650 0 $a Animals $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Murder $x Investigation $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Short stories. $2 gsafd 655 7 $a Mystery fiction. $2 gsafd 700 1 $a Edwards, Martin, $d 1955- $e editor. 941 $a 1 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20231010033922.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3E01BFBC673311EEBF3E118F48ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b UIBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
