*Crime, Spies & Sleaze: The Golden Age of Detective Fiction was surely between the 1920s and the 1950s, and in this period several women dominated the genre. We refer to them collectively as the Queens of Crime, but of them all, Agatha Christie is surely the High Queen. The most read author in the English language, her works continue to populate our media, whether on TV, in films and theatre and, of course, books. I wouldn’t be surprised if there were more books by her in circulation than anyone else. A diverse range of offerings from Ms Christie this week: one Poirot (The Murder On The Links) two Tommy & Tuppence (the espionage novel N Or M? and the short story volume Partners In Crime) and the distinctive The Hound Of Death, twelve mostly eerie stories of the supernatural, but with the famous story Witness For The Prosecution tucked in the middle. All in attractive Great Pan livery. More information, including condition notes, as always in our catalogue.
