Austin Freeman, G. K. Chesterton, Thomas Burke, Father Ronald Knox and Agatha Christie, and all play fairly with the reader. Poe's Purloined Letter illustrates a criminal using his knowledge of psychology to outwit the police and a detective expert's methods in drawing upon psychological inferences in solving the crime. Thomas Burke's The Hands of Mr. Otter-mole, for all its striking horror, has clues fairly laid. Agatha Christie provides a modern specimen of the ' perfect murder ' by psychological means — a comparison with the Stevenson tale, Was it Murder? Henry Wade's A Matter of Luck shows the reader the crime first and then proceeds with the detec­tion. H. C. Bailey's Yellow Slugs is not only first-class detection but also a characteristic expression of his passionate hatred of spiritual cruelty. And there are fourteen other stories by masters of the craft.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"details\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"heading\"\u003eBook Condition: \u003c\/span\u003eVery Good+: Firm copy with minor bumping and rubbing to corners and spine ends.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan class=\"heading\"\u003eHCX25742-1\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Heartwood Books and Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44008787116143,"sku":"HCX25742-1","price":50.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/1291\/4287\/files\/57_16a1b671-33dc-4185-8f4d-c053e028d974.jpg?v=1766513373","url":"https:\/\/heartwoodbooksandart.com\/products\/tales-of-detection-by-dorothy-l-sayers-editor","provider":"Heartwood Books and Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
