Produktbeschreibung

"The Bravo of London" is a book in the Max Carrados series. Also, Max Carrados will be followed by "The eyes of Max Carrados" in 1923, "The Specimen Case" in 1924, "Max Carrados Mysteries" in 1927, and "The Bravo of London" in 1934. Max Carrados is a blind detective who uses his remaining senses in such a way that his blindness is often not immediately apparent to others. Working with his old friend, Louis Carlyle, a private investigator, the wealthy Carrados pursues his talent for detection whenever he pleases without accepting a fee. It is the first appearance of the blind sleuth Max Carrados whom, accompanied by his faithful but not always insightful Carlyle, was created as a rival to Sherlock Holmes and quickly found a strong following amongst readers.

Ernest Bramah, Introduction by Tony Medawar

Rezensionen

'The Bravo of London is a little too good to be true, but what does that matter in a tale so stirring and so instinct with literary quality? Upon new and old readers alike, Mr Bramah's style will exercise its usual irresistible charm.' Dorothy L. Sayers, The Sunday Times

'The only detective stories since Poe that are worth re-reading' George Orwell

'There's something very alluring about the character of Max Carrados and the nature of a blind detective ... We love detectives, whether a little old lady knitting like Miss Marple, or an egg-headed Belgian, or the great Sherlock Holmes, or the blind Max Carrados - they help us feel that life is going to be OK.' Stephen Fry
