  • "One of the unlikeliest fictional detectives ever brought to life in print, Max Carrados is a sophisticated private detective who was blinded in a tragic horse-riding accident. To compensate for this disability, he has sharpened his other senses to nearly supernatural levels of acuity, and he calls on his remarkable skills in all four of the pulse-pounding tales collected in this volume."
  • "Legendary blind detective Max Carrados doesn't need his eyesight to see the crook in a tough case Max Carrados is the greatest detective you've never heard of. He may be blind, but what Carrados lacks in sight he more than makes up for in perception. He can pick out a voice in a crowded room and read a book by running his fingers over the print. Those who underestimate his abilities are soon surprised by the keen Carrados. In one story, Carrados tracks down a criminal by analyzing a coin without ever leaving his study. Another finds him solving the mystery of a train accident that has far more to it than anyone expected. Bramah's stories of Carrados regularly appeared in the Strand magazine, receiving top billing even over those of Doyle's Sherlock Holmes. This ebook has been professionally proofread to ensure accuracy and readability on all devices."@en
