Whilst many authors from this period, from Arthur Conan Doyle to Agatha Christie, remain famous today, countless works are long unavailable to a modern readership. The Lost Mystery Classics series brings the novels of this era back into print, and celebrates these largely forgotten authors of the past.

Bestselling writers of the Edwardian era, our authors were read around the world in newspaper serials and books published to entertain a mass readership. They developed mystery writing before the conventions of detective fiction had been fully realized, so their novels are inventive, pacy and surprising. Over time, they vanished into the archives, but now these delights are available again.
