Complete and unabridged, with 59 full-page plates by James McNeill Whistler, William Powell Frith and Walter Sickert. Max Carrados solves by hearing, touch and inference - a blind detective who reads newspaper type with his fingers and misses nothing. Bramah invented him in 1914, and he remains the most original of Sherlock Holmes's rivals. This edition binds fifty-nine plates of night and twilight painting with the text, among them Grimshaw, Ciągliński, Csontváry Kosztka and Mednyánszky, 1834–1923.
