The Big Bow Mystery delivers a brisk, original detective fiction that threads a meticulous murder investigation through gaslit streets and crowded urban life.

Produktbeschreibung
A spark of truth burns through the fog of Victorian London. A clever mind, a locked-room puzzle, and a city where every alley tells a story. The Big Bow Mystery delivers a brisk, original detective fiction that threads a meticulous murder investigation through gaslit streets and crowded urban life. With clean craft, the tale balances artful clueing and human drama, inviting casual readers and classic-literature collectors alike to follow the trail from the first rumour to the final confession. It is at once a gripping whodunit and a meditation on urban crime, class, and the pressure of secrecy in late nineteenth-century Britain. Its significance lives in the texture of its era-an early puzzle-driven mystery that influenced later crime-writing and offered a vivid snapshot of London's social fabric. For today's readers and tomorrow's scholars, The Big Bow Mystery stands as a touchstone of Victorian crime classics, a public-domain legend reborn for contemporary sensibilities, and a reminder of how crime writing began to mature as literature. Selling points: Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. This is more than nostalgia; it is a carefully reawakened piece of literary history, designed for lovers of mystery and stakes-high storytelling.
Autorenporträt
ISRAEL ZANGWILL (1864-1926), born in London to Jewish Eastern European immigrants, became widely known as a journalist, dramatist, and activist and is recognized for coining the term "melting pot" after the production of his play, The Melting Pot (1908). His first novel The Children of the Ghetto (1892) earned him the title of the "Dickens of the Ghetto" and launched his literary career.
