Publisher Description

Thirteen Mystery Tales featuring the indomitable Lady Molly of Scotland Yard. One of the earliest women detectives, Lady Molly is Scotland Yard's "last hope." Called in when the Yard is mystified, Lady Molly uses her woman's intuition and understanding of human nature, as well as her ability to see clues others don't, to bring murderers and thieves to justice.

Lady Molly may only be a woman, but she is ruthless in pursuing justice. Baroness Emma Orczy (1865–1947) loved using heroes with secret identities. Her most famous was The Scarlet Pimpernel, but Lady Molly also conceals her real identity. Not until the last two stories do you learn who she is and why she became a detective. She is accompanied by her female Watson, Mary Granard, who serves as narrator.

BONUS! Includes a 13th tale, an original mystery story using the Lady Molly character, written by Byrd Nash: The House on Church Street.

The Lady Molly of Scotland Yard stories (published 1910-12) are presented here in an unabridged edition, along with their original artwork. Written over 100 years ago they reflect values at the time which may be out-of-date now. For mystery lovers, enjoy the valuable historical insight about the fictional development of female detectives.

At the Publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management Software (DRM) applied.
