Sinossi
In 'Mysterious Cases of Detective Richard Duvall', Frederic Arnold Kummer weaves a captivating anthology of detective fiction grounded in the early 20th-century zeitgeist, with a backdrop of burgeoning industries such as cinematography in 'The Film of Fear.' The narrative, infused with a rich melange of suspense and period detail, follows the keenly observant Duvall as he employs forensic science and logical deduction. Kummer's prose is characterized by its clarity and dramatic flair, deftly rendering a bygone era with its unique idioms and social mores, making each story both a meticulously plotted mystery and a historical snapshot. This collection situates itself within the Golden Age of detective fiction, evoking the thrill of classic whodunits while offering its own distinctive voice and complex puzzles. Frederic Arnold Kummer's own varied career as a playwright and screenwriter—indeed, one of the pioneers in the nascent film industry—provided him rich material and insights for crafting the intrigue surrounding Ruth Morton in 'The Film of Fear.' His breadth of experience across genres is evident in the multidimensional plot and vibrant characterization that marks his storytelling. It's likely that his engagement with the diplomatic circles and international milieu informed the intricate espionage found in 'The Ivory Snuff Box' and the high society stakes of 'The Blue Lights.' Kummer's own life, interlaced with an era of global tension and artistic experimentation, echoes through the pages of Duvall's adventures. 'Mysterious Cases of Detective Richard Duvall' stands as an exemplary work for readers who esteem intricate plot work and a taste of historical authenticity. Fans of Arthur Conan Doyle and Agatha Christie will find a kindred spirit in Kummer's collection, where each tale affirms the enduring allure of the cerebral sleuth. Recommended for those who delight in puzzles set against the canvas of the past, Kummer's anthology endures as a testament to the timeless nature of good detective storytelling and the human fascination with mystery and suspense.
