DESCRIPTION - Hugh Greene previously delighted readers with THE RIVALS OF SHERLOCK HOLMES, his collection of detective stories set in London and written at the time of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's heyday. Now he presents us with a companion volume of stories, written by other less well known but first-rate mystery writers of the period, in which the scene shifts from London to foreign countries around the world. In a fascinating array of locales, from South Africa to Bruges, from the Canadian woods to Copenhagen, from an American prison to a French chateau, COSMOPOLITAN CRIMES brings together a fine collection of intriguing detectives and clever villains. Among the writers in this interesting and entertaining volume are: Grant Allen, George Griffith, Arnold Bennett, Jacques Futrelle, Maurice LeBlanc, Baron Palle Rosenkrantz, and H. Hesketh Prichard. An introduction by Hugh Greene gives a brief description of each writer and places him within the period. inventory #26986 Very Good in Slightly Worn Dustjacket.…

Very Good in Dustjacket. 039441330x. 352 pages. hardcover. Jacket design by Kenneth Miyamoto. keywords: Mystery England Anthology. DESCRIPTION - The years between 1891, when 'The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes' began to appear in The Strand Magazine, and 1914 were a great period for the writers of detective short stories. These rivals of Sherlock Holmes have remained too long in the shadow of the master, and this marvelous collection brings together some of the best stories of the period written by the best professional mystery writers of the times. For the purpose of the collection, editor Hugh Greene has restricted himself to stories in which the detectives have identifiable, or nearly identifiable, addresses in the London of the day, thus giving some of the closeness and reality which still clings to No. 221b Baker Street. An 1898 map has been included to help the reader follow the action, and the special emphasis on the period sets the reader right in the heart of the sounds and smells of London at the turn of the century. The book contains an Introduction by Hugh Greene, giving the background to the period and a brief discussion of each writer. inventory #4291. …
