Ernest Dudley - The Amazing Martin Brett краткое содержание
The creator of the famous criminologist, Dr. Morelle, here gives us four stories of another brilliant detective, whom the newspapers have dubbed «The Amazing Martin Brett.» Brett appears to be selfish and lazy, and his effort at solving crimes is entirely motivated by the size of his fee. His attractive secretary (and narrator) is often the butt of his sardonic humor and sexist remarks, which she finds unnecessary and uncalled for. But she puts up with him because she suspects Brett has a secret sorrow, some woman in his past…and, as a detective, he ALWAYS solves his cases!

Here is another collection of the strange adventures of Doctor Morelle, that most sardonic of detectives, in a sequence of eight intriguing episodes from the Doctor’s casebook. The Doctor meets both brutal and cunning murders and murderers, ranging from a man battered to death with a heavy brass object to a woman poisoned with cyanide. Morelle investigates in his inimitable, cerebral, and biting style. He is aided–or sometimes handicapped–by his gentle, timorous assistant, Miss Frayle–who in...
Ernest Dudley, creator of that superb pair of sleuths, Dr. Morelle and Miss Frayle, here introduces another vivid character, Nat Craig, whose methods as London’s foremost private investigator are utterly different from those of the famous doctor, yet just as penetrating and conclusive in their results. Craig believes in hitting first and pulling no punches, which makes for exciting period action tales featuring murder, mayhem, blackmail, and robbery. The indomitable Craig ruthlessly tracks down...
When Brian Cartwright receives a written death threat, he takes it seriously–in his not unblemished past he has made some bitter enemies. So he calls in the famous criminologist Dr. Morelle to protect him. The threatening note has predicted the exact time he's to die–nine p.m. later that same day. As the hour approaches, Cartwright locks himself alone in his study, all doors and windows sealed, with Dr. Morelle and his previously invited house guests in an adjoining room–also locked. Yet...
This second book of Ernest Dudley’s stories about his London-based private eye, Nat Craig, and his lovely French secretary, Simone, features a varied collection of the detective's eccentric clients: young, wealthy women getting themselves blackmailed; upper-class men or women who have the jitters over the safety of their precious family heirlooms; and, occasionally, even members of the criminal class, appealing to their former nemesis for help in clearing their names of false accusations....
