Book excerpt: Mr. Maverick Narkom, Superintendent at Scotland Yard, flung aside the paper he was reading and wheeled round in his revolving desk-chair, all alert on the instant, like a terrier that scents a rat. Meet Hamilton Cleek: former criminal, lost heir to the throne of a small European country, and now the suave private detective who consults with Scotland Yard. On top of that, he has the remarkable ability to change the features on his face, making him a brilliant undercover operative. "Introducing Hamilton Cleek, the forty-faced, elusive cracksman, in the last of the impudent, highly skillful and distressingly successful raids which have long exasperated London and baffled Scotland Yard. Henceforth Cleek is to make other but equally fascinating use of his genius. Now, however, he is at his old, uncanny tricks, displaying all the marvelous wit and resource which characterize this inimitably versatile hero." -The Pittsburgh Press - Oct 4, 1914

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The exploits of the great Victorian Detectives, Poe's C. Auguste Dupin, Gaboriau's Lecoq, and most famously, Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes, are well known. But what of those fictional detectives that came after, those of the Edwardian Age? The period between the death of Queen Victoria and the First World War had been called the Golden Age of the detective short story, but how familiar is the modern reader with the sleuths of this era? And such an extraordinary group they were, including in their numbers an unassuming English priest, a blind man, a master of disguises, a lecturer in medical jurisprudence, a noble woman working for Scotland Yard, and a savant so brilliant he was known as "The Thinking Machine." To introduce readers to these detectives, Resurrected Press has assembled a collection of stories featuring these and other remarkable sleuths in The Edwardian Detectives.
