Each of the stories in this anthology, in which the four-and-twenty fictional sleuths make their appearance, were chosen by the Mystery Writers of America for their ability to excite and entertain. As an added attraction, each story is followed by a Detective Who's Who. The brief editorial introductions by Anthony Boucher add color and background to the entertainment as does his pointed and informative preface.
