| Summary: | This new anthology brings the female crime writers who inspired Agatha Christie out of her shadow and back into the spotlight they deserve.

Pirkis, the Baroness Orczy, and Elizabeth Corbett in England; and Mary Fortune in Australia opened doors for the women authors who followed them.
