The Lock and Key Library was an ambitious project to bring together a large collection of the best mystery and detective stories from a variety of times and cultures. This volume, the 8th in the series, concentrates on Modern English stories - modern for 1909 that is. Many are from authors still widely read today: Rudyard Kipling, Arthur Conan Doyle, Robert Louis Stevenson and Wilkie Collins, others from less well-known or anonymous sources. The contents are: My Own True Ghost Story, The Sending of Dana Da, In the House of Suddhoo, His Wedded Wife, A Case of Identity, A Scandal in Bohemia, The Red-Headed League, The Baron's Quarry, The Fowl in the Pot, The Pavilion on the Links, The Dream Woman, The Lost Duchess, The Minor Canon, The Pipe, The Puzzle and The Great Valdez Sapphire. This new edition is not a scan; it has been carefully typeset to be clear and complete.
