Fiendishly intricate cases were particularly well suited to the cerebral type of detective story that became so popular during the 'golden age of murder' between the two world wars. But the tradition goes back to the days of Edgar Allan Poe and Wilkie Collins, and impossible crime stories have been written by such luminaries as Arthur Conan Doyle, G.K. Chesterton, Dorothy L. Sayers and Margery Allingham. This anthology celebrates their work, alongside long-hidden gems by less familiar writers. Together these stories demonstrate the range and high accomplishment of the classic British impossible crime story over more than half a century. 650 0 $a Murder $x Investigation $v Fiction. 651 0 $a England $v Fiction. 650 7 $a Murder $x Investigation. $0 (OCoLC)fst01029788. $2 fast 651 7 $a England. $0 (OCoLC)fst01219920. $2 fast 650 4 $a Mystery. 650 7 $a FICTION / Anthologies (multiple authors). $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a FICTION / Classics. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a FICTION / Mystery & Detective / Short Stories. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a FICTION / Mystery & Detective / Traditional. $2 bisacsh 655 7 $a Detective and mystery fiction. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Short stories. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Detective and mystery fiction. $0 (OCoLC)fst01726581. $2 fast 655 7 $a Fiction. $0 (OCoLC)fst01423787. $2 fast 655 7 $a Short stories. $0 (OCoLC)fst01726740. $2 fast 655 7 $a Mystery fiction. $2 gsafd 700 1 $a Edwards, Martin, $d 1955- $e editor. $e editor. 830 0 $a British Library crime classics. 941 $a 1 952 $l MXPG943 $d 20180720050149.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=10C59A608BE611E8B24E8D0097128E48 994 $a C0 $b IO4Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
