Golden Age Bibliomysteries

In Vincent Starrett's 'A Volume of Poe,' a bookseller is murdered; in Ellery Queen's 'The Adventure of the Three R's,' the detective tracks the disappearance of a local Missouri author; and a killer stalks the stacks of the New York Public Library in Robert L. Blochman's 'Death Walks in Marble Halls.' With fourteen tales of bibliophilic transgression from the Golden Age of the mystery genre (the decades between the two World Wars), this volume collects stories guaranteed to entertain, featuring work from well-remembered authors such as Cornell Woolrich and Anthony Boucher and from those that are lesser-known today, such as Carolyn Wells and James Gould Cozzens.
