The British Library
A masterly collection of academic mysteries carefully selected from the Library’s treasures of crime writing. 15 short stories mix murdered lecturers, conniving schoolboys, underhand undergraduates, and more. With evocative settings – from libraries and lecture halls to classrooms and school dormitories – the stories include little-known gems from the golden age of crime- writing. Includes 'The Adventure of the Priory School', 1904, by Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930); 'The Missing Undergraduate', 1933, by Henry Wade (1887-1969); 'Murder at Pentecost', (1933), by Dorothy L. Sayers (1893-1957); 'Dover Goes to School', (1978), by Joyce Porter (1924-90); 'Low Marks for Murder', 1973, by Herbert Harris (1911-95); 'Dog in the Night-Time', 1954, by Edmund Crispin (1921-78); and 'Battle of Wits', (1967), by Miriam Sharman (1914-94).
