Do they begin to match those of Gervase Fen, Oxford don and sleuth supreme?First published in 1953, these sixteen short stories are classic examples of Fen's crime-solving prowess.

These stories also allow you, the reader, to flex your own crime-solving muscles: each one contains all the clues needed to anticipate its outcome, using a delicate combination of logic and common sense... with a bit of ingenuity thrown in! Do you dare to take them on?
