Synopsis
Ensconced in a cozy corner of a London teashop, a nameless, shabbily dressed old man toys ceaselessly with a bit of string as he unravels the baffling crimes of the day for an admiring lady journalist. Relying solely on his vast Holmesian powers of deduction, the "strange looking" sleuth never deigns to visit the scene of the crime, question a suspect, or examine clues. Nor does he have much faith in conventional police methods and crime solving capabilities. "There is no such thing as a mystery in connection with any crime, provided intelligence is brought to bear upon its investigation." The 12 mysteries in this book are captivating. Which include; The Fenchurch Street Mystery, The mysterious death on the underground railway, The mysterious death in percy street, The Dublin mystery, The Glasgow mystery, The Liverpool mystery, The case of Miss Elliott, The Lisson Grove Mystery, The Tragedy in Dartmoor terrace, The Tremarn case, The murder of Miss Pebmarch and The affair at the Novelty Theatre.
