Add to baskethardcover. Condition: Near Fine. The Detection Collection, By Members of The Detection Club (Edited by Simon Brett) â" 2014 Edition Publication: London, HarperCollinsPublishers, 2014 Formatting: 8vo, pp. 240. Condition Report: Near Fine. The book is securely bound with tight hinges and features a remarkably clean, unblemished bl…ack hardback binding with bright, unoxidised gilt lettering along the spine. Internally, the pages remain clean, crisp, and bright throughout, showing no evidence of foxing, toning, or heavy handling. The original unclipped dust jacket is equally well-preserved, showcasing vibrant cover art entirely free from sun-fading, with only the most trivial hints of shelf-wear along the extreme upper and lower edges, ensuring this remains an exceptionally attractive and collector-worthy copy. Catalogue Note: This is the first printing of the 2014 reissue published by HarperCollins (indicated by the '1' in the number line on the copyright page). Originally published in 2005 by Orion to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the quintessential Detection Club, this updated anthology brings together stories from the luminaries of British crime fiction. The volume remains unillustrated, placing full emphasis on the stellar textual contributions from genre heavyweights such as P.D. James, Colin Dexter, and Reginald Hill. While this 2014 edition is relatively common on the secondary market, it remains highly desirable for enthusiasts seeking a tight, pristine reading copy or an attractive addition to a comprehensive mystery collection. Published to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the illustrious Detection Club, a private society of British crime writers originally presided over by G.K. Chesterton and Agatha Christie, this anthology gathers eleven original short stories from the modern masters of the genre. Edited by Simon Brett, the collection features brilliant, mind-bending tales of mystery, murder, and deduction from literary giants such as P.D. James, Colin Dexter, Reginald Hill, and Robert Goddard. It is an essential tribute to the enduring legacy of the British whodunit, offering a masterclass in suspense and clever plotting.
