Description:Whether it's a classic whodunit, a brilliantly plotted detective story or a sophisticated psychological chiller, there's no greater pleasure than settling down with a good crime story.These stories introduce many of crime fiction's finest heroes, including the crucial episodes that formed Ian Rankin's John Rebus and John Le Carré's spy–master George Smiley.Acclaimed masters of mystery such as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Agatha Christie, Rex Stout and Edgar Wallace rub shoulders with less well known yet equally compelling writers like American mystery queen Anna Katharine Green and Cornell Woolrich, best known for 'Rear Window', famously immortalized in film by Alfred Hitchcock. Each story is introduced either by the authors themselves, by fellow crime writers, including Colin Dexter, Reginald Hill and Margaret Yorke, or by aficionados of the genre, like Patrick Marnham, Simon Brett and Marcel Berlins. Full of menace and diabolical twists, pitting rationalism against the supernatural, good against evil, these twenty masterpieces will baffle and entertain the most ingenious of armchair detectives.Volume 3: Police ProceduresArriving in a picturesque village not far from Paris, Chief Superintendent Maigret finds himself disturbed by more than the mysterious death he has come to investigate. In the face of his past, even his famous powers of deduction seem to be deserting him. Comedy and clues combine in Brahms and Simon's deliciously witty 'A Bullet in the Ballet', a complete contrast to Ian Rankin's edgy tale where he takes his unforgettable hero, Inspector John Rebus, back to the town he grew up in. Henning Mankell's novels featuring Kurt Wallander have become bestsellers throughout Europe and 'The Man on the Beach' provides an intriguing insight to his hero's past.Maigret and the Toy Village by Georges SimenonA Bullet in the Ballet by Brahms and SimonThe Terror by Edgar WallaceDeath is Not the End by Ian RankinThe Man on the Beach by Henning MankellQuarter bound in cloth with blocked paper sides.Set in Garamond.4 volumes, with 44 illustrations 4 in colour by Nick Hardcastle6½" x 9"We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
