Bold stories of abductions and rescues, murders and revenge, politics of death and espionage—these are the themes of this latest volatile blend of classic and contemporary writing.

Classic authors include Arnold Bennett, Ernest Bramah, John Buchan, G.K. Chesterton, Joseph Conrad, Arthur Conan Doyle, R. Austin Freeman, Rudyard Kipling, Maurice Leblanc, Arthur B. Reeve, Saper, Ellen Wood.
