About this ebook
R. Austin Freeman was a popular mystery author of the early 20th century. Some credit him with having invented the 'inverted detective story' – a plot structure in which the commission of the crime is described at the beginning, and the story details the detective's attempt to solve the mystery. Many of the hardboiled and pulp detective stories, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
