Book excerpt: To the reflective mind the rapidity with which the inhabitants of the world's greatest cityseize upon a new name or idea, and familiarise themselves with it, can scarcely proveotherwise than astonishing. As an illustration of my meaning let me take the case ofKlimo-the now famous private detective, who has won for himself the right to beconsidered as great as Lecocq, or even the late lamented Sherlock Holmes.Up to a certain morning London had never even heard his name, nor had it the remotestnotion as to who or what he might be. It was as sublimely ignorant and careless on thesubject as the inhabitants of Kamtchatka or Peru. Within twenty-four hours, however, thewhole aspect of the case was changed. The man, woman, or child who had not seen hisposters, or heard his name, was counted an ignoramus unworthy of intercourse withhuman beings.Princes became familiar with it as their trains bore them to Windsor to luncheon with theQueen; the nobility noticed and commented upon it as they drove about the town;merchants, and business men generally, read it as they made their ways by omnibus orunderground, to their various shops and counting-houses; street boys called each other byit as a nickname; music hall artistes introduced it into their patter, while it was evenrumoured that the Stock Exchange itself had paused in the full flood tide of business tomanufacture a riddle on the subject.

Book excerpt: The appearance of Sherlock Holmes in The Strand Magazine in 1891 began a stampede of writers who wanted to emulate, build upon or even satirize Arthur Conan Doyle’s work. This book explores the development of detective fiction during the critical period between Conan Doyle’s creation of Holmes and the advent of the Golden Age of the detective story during World War I. Both British and American detective writers of the period are surveyed—as well as writers who turned to gentleman burglars and master criminals.
