    The Private Eye: Classic Crime Stories

    About this ebook

    Ernest Dudley, creator of that superb pair of sleuths, Dr. Morelle and Miss Frayle, here introduces another vivid character, Nat Craig, whose methods as London’s foremost private investigator are utterly different from those of the famous doctor, yet just as penetrating and conclusive in their results. Craig believes in hitting first and pulling no punches, which makes for exciting period action tales featuring murder, mayhem, blackmail, and robbery. The indomitable Craig ruthlessly tracks down the evildoer, and solves each case with a genuine and logical problem of detection. First-rate British crime stories ripped from the pages of the 1940s pulp magazines!
