Rogues’ Gallery: A Variety of Mystery Stories (1969) by Walter Gibson (ed. Sun77))
Requirements: ePUB reader, 1.9Mb
Overview: Whatever the type of story, whether it involves an amateur or professional detective, a mystery, to be a mystery, demands an antagonist worthy of the hero. Such characters far outnumber the lone investigator, for they keep cropping up in new and more deceptive guises as rapidly as they are lopped off. They form a vast variety of men—and women—who use cunning, chicanery, treachery, violence, and every other device in the criminal handbook to accomplish their aims. They make it difficult for the detectives in some of the stories that follow, but matters might be worse.
For without the rogues’ gallery, there would be no stories at all.
