The adventures of Max Carrados, Blind Detective. A collection of Carrados mysteries written by acclaimed author, Ernest Bramah.

Max Carrados was created in 1914. The Max Carrados stories appeared alongside Sherlock Holmes in the Strand Magazine, indeed they had top billing and frequently outsold his eminent contemporary even if they never achieved the longevity of Holmes.

Given the then strange idea that a blind man could be a detective, Bramah much later compared his hero's achievements to those of real life blind people such as Nicholas Saunderson, Lucasian Professor of Mathematics at Cambridge, Blind Jack of Knaresborough the road builder, John Fielding the Bow Street Magistrate of whom it was said he could identify 3,000 thieves by their voices, and Helen Keller.

These are well-written, thrilling mysteries. A must-have for classic mystery fiction fans!
