Beschreibung
From foggy back alleys to respectable drawing rooms, this collection gathers tales of crime and detection set in the shadow of the capital, spanning masters of the form from Arthur Conan Doyle to P. D. James. Bringing together writers separated by more than a century, this anthology traces the city's enduring hold on the criminal imagination. Arthur Conan Doyle sends Sherlock Holmes into the gaslit streets; Charles Dickens draws on his intimate knowledge of its rookeries and river; and P. D. James brings modern psychological depth to its darker corners. Across Victorian intrigue, Golden Age puzzles, and contemporary suspense, the stories share a single, inexhaustible subject: the great, teeming, dangerous metropolis and the crimes it conceals. It is a portrait of London as the crime writer's most rewarding and atmospheric hunting ground.
