"They say that writers are really divided into two types; which exactly corresponds to cut-throats and poisoners. The cut-throats are those who, realising that the murder story must cut short the life, decide also to cut the story short. It is their pride as artists to deal in daggers; and startle the unfortunate reader with the stab of the short story." - G. K. Chesterton
Here lie 11 daggers that go straight to the heart of the matter; will the villain get away with it, or will the detective at hand foil them. This volume stretches its legs to the pre-war period which laid the foundation for the 'Golden' age to come.
