The detective's role is simple: to catch the culprit. Yet behind each casual observation lies a learned mind,trained on finding the key to the mystery. Crimes,whatever their form,are often best solved through deliberations of logic - preferably amid complicated gadgetry and a pile of hefty scientific volumes. The detectives in this collection are masters of scientific deduction,whether they are identifying the perpetrator from a single scrap of fabric,or picking out the poison from a sinister line-up. Containing stories by R Austin Freeman,J J Connington and the master of logical reasoning,Arthur Conan Doyle,The Measure of Malice collects tales of rational thinking to prove the power of the human brain over villainous deeds.
