Six Against the Yard

This engaging anthology brings together six masterful crime stories from the 1930s, each depicting a meticulously crafted "perfect murder" designed to challenge even the sharpest investigators of the era. Legendary authors like Margery Allingham, Dorothy L. Sayers, and others present their most ingenious plots, which are then examined by Scotland Yard Superintendent Cornish to see if they could truly remain unsolved. Including a rare essay by Agatha Christie on a real-life mysterious poisoning, this collection offers a fascinating glimpse into the Golden Age of detective fiction and the enduring allure of perfect crimes.
