A classic collection of mysteries from the Golden Age of British crime writing, by the author of The Scarlet Pimpernel. Mysteries! There is no such thing as a mystery in connection with any crime, provided intelligence is brought to bear upon its investigation. So says a rather down-at-heel elderly gentleman to young Polly Burton of the Evening Observer, in the corner of the ABC teashop on Norfolk Street one afternoon. Once she has forgiven him for distracting her from her newspaper and luncheon, Miss Burton discovers that her interlocutor is as brilliantly gifted as he is eccentric—able to solve mysteries that have made headlines and baffled the finest minds of the police without once leaving his seat in the teahouse. The Case of Miss Elliott is a classic collection of mysteries featuring the Teahouse Detective—a contemporary of Sherlock Holmes, with a brilliant mind and waspish temperament to match that of Conan Doyle's creation.

"The Case Of Miss Elliott" was the famed Hungarian-born British novelist and playwright, Baroness Orczy's first collection of detective stories. It featured the first of her detective characters, The Old Man in the Corner, who solves mysteries without leaving his chair. Despite his vanity about his own talents, Bill Owen is a nondescript armchair detective who haunts a corner of the ABC Teashop on the corner of Norfolk Street and the Strand. His listener and protégé is the attractive young journalist Polly Burton. Polly brings him details of obscure crimes baffling the police, which he helps her to solve. The Old Man's cases include a wide range of sensational and complex detective puzzles: murder ("The Tremarn Case"), blackmail ("The Murder of Miss Pebmarsh"), perfect alibis ("The Case of Miss Elliott"), and thefts ("The Affair at the Novelty Theatre").

Another classic collection of mysteries from the Golden Age of British crime writing, by the author of The Scarlet Pimpernel It has been twenty years since Polly Burton last saw the Teahouse Detective, but one foggy afternoon she stumbles into a Fleet Street café and chances upon the cantankerous sleuth again. The years have not softened his manner, nor dulled his appetite for unravelling the most tortuous of conspiracies, shedding light on mysteries that have confounded the finest minds of the police. How did Prince Orsoff disappear from his railway carriage in-between stations? How could the Ingres masterpiece be seen in two places at once? And what is the truth behind the story of the blood-stained tunic that exonerated its owner? From the comfort of his seat by the fire, the Teahouse Detective sets his brilliant mind to work once more.
