Sinopsis

In "The Cases of Detective Reggie Fortune," H. C. Bailey expertly crafts a series of interwoven detective stories that showcase the ingenuity of his titular character, Reggie Fortune. This collection is marked by its blend of traditional detective fiction and innovative narrative techniques that reveal Bailey's keen understanding of the genre's conventions. The stories, steeped in the early 20th-century British literary context, are characterized by sharp dialogue and meticulous plotting, inviting readers into the intellectual challenges posed by each case as Fortune employs both intuition and deduction to unravel complex mysteries. H. C. Bailey, a contemporary of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, was significantly influenced by the evolution of detective fiction during his time. His background in law and literature perhaps informed his creation of Reggie Fortune, whose methodical approach and astute observations mirror Bailey'Äôs own analytical inclinations. The author'Äôs ability to weave psychological acuity with engaging narrative arcs renders these stories not merely puzzles to solve, but profound explorations of the human condition. This anthology is highly recommended for fans of classic detective fiction and those who appreciate rich character development intertwined with cerebral plotlines. Bailey's Reggie Fortune is a refreshing departure from the archetypal detective, making this book an essential read for anyone looking to delve deeper into the hallowed halls of crime literature.

    One wrong move...

    Could mean their downfall. 
    Her Uncle Jimmy would never consider Carla’s plan – it’s way too risky and dangerous. But Jonny needs to prove himself. He thinks this job could be the one to secure their future and prove his name as the new top dog. 
    But with Carla and Jonny both blinded by their own pride, the rest of the Carters think they are making a deadly mistake. And instead of securing their family legacy, this one job could cost the Carter family everything...
