Detective Muller: Imperial Austrian Police-Volume 1-The Man with the Black Cord, the Pocket Diary Found in the Snow, the Case of the Poo - Paperback
by Augusta Groner (Author)
Volume one of a special two volume collection
The success of stories of mystery, crime and detection rely inevitably and heavily on the persona of the central character. The eccentric detective or the sleuth with his ever faithful, not always especially bright assistant are familiar and often welcome stereotypes. Familiar too is the self effacing small man, the man who would not and does not wish to stand out in a crowd, the plain, humble, apparently harmless man with an unpleasant surprise up his sleeve for criminals. This kind of man is not a man of physical action but one with an observant incisive intellect finely tuned to his purpose-bringing villains to book Edgar Wallace's J. G Reeder was such a man and the hero of these stories by Groner, Detective Joseph M ller is another. With promotion denied as a result of a tainted past and a spell in prison, M ller is, nevertheless, the man to be brought in when the task seems most daunting. Detective M ller's stage is an unusual one, for he is a member of that secret and shadowy organisation, the Imperial Austrian Police. Set in the period that led up to the Great War, the twilight years of the decadent and declining Hapsburg Empire, these fascinating tales of crime and detection from a lost era have become true classics.Made with care and unconditionally loved by our customers, this signature bestseller exceeds all expectations.
