When acclaimed secret writer Dorothy L. Sayers first started compiling anthologies of the best crime testimonies in the 1920s and '30s, the genre was at the get rid of of its first golden age. Although it is hard to imagine today - after each possible mystery plot has been informed, retold, subverted, and enjoyed right again by a huge selection of writers over nearly a hundred years - in Sayers's day there have been still twists that had never been seen, and machinations of offense that would impact even jaded Jazz Years lovers. Now today's lovers of secret and offense can experience a handpicked collection of over thirty of the most outstanding stories out of this era, at first chosen by Sayers and recently presented by Otto Penzler, a respected expert and connoisseur in the field of mystery literature. As the prolific writer of the genre, Sayers grasped the issue of putting together a secret that had not been only sufficiently challenging (so that the solution had not been immediately clear to the listener), but also solvable without forcing the writer to cheat. That balance between opacity and solvability remains the best task of writing great offense testimonies - and these are some of the best. Authors appearing in this collection include:
- Edgar Allen Poe
- Herman Melville
- H. G. Wells
- Wilkie Collins
- Stephen Crane
- J. S. Le Fanu
