<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>Sherlock Holmes is the most famous of all fictional detectives but, across the Atlantic, he had plenty of rivals.</strong></p>Between 1890 and 1920, American writers created dozens and dozens of crime-solvers. This thrilling, unusual anthology features stories about 15 of them, including Professor Augustus SFX Van Dusen, 'The Thinking Machine', even more cerebral than Holmes; Craig Kennedy, the so-called 'scientific detective'; Uncle Abner, a shrewd backwoodsman in pre-Civil War Virginia; Violet Strange, New York debutante turned criminologist; and Nick Carter, the original pulp private eye. Editor Nick Rennison gathers together often neglected tales which highlight American crime fiction's early years.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>NICK RENNISON is a writer, editor and bookseller with a particular interest in the Victorian era and in crime fiction.
