With a
cohort of writers including Dorothy L. Sayers, Ethel Lina White, Jacqueline
Wilson, Arthur Conan Doyle, Michael Innes and Edmund Crispin, this new
anthology offers a selection of classics and rarities to provide a rewarding
education in the beguiling art of mystery writing.
“The Master? Dr. Greeby? You don’t say so! Murdered? Dear me! Poor
Greeby! This will upset my whole day’s work.”
An Oxford Master is slain on campus during Pentecost. A headmaster
faces off in a deadly battle of wits with a disgruntled parent. A sixth-form
public school prank courts a murderous consequence.
In this new anthology theft, blackmail, murder and mystery run amok
through the hush of the university library, the cacophonies of school
corridors and the simmering tensions of the staff room. Delving into the
stacks and tomes of the British Library collections, Martin Edwards invites
you to a course on the darker side of scholarly ambition with an essential
reading list of fifteen masterful short stories.
