The Man in the Corner

In The Man in the Corner, Baroness Orczy introduces one of the most unusual detectives in literary history — a shabby, mysterious old man who sits quietly in a London teashop, solving baffling crimes with nothing more than sharp reasoning and a piece of string he knots absentmindedly as he thinks. Without ever leaving his chair, he unravels cases of theft, murder, and deception that have baffled the police, revealing the secrets behind locked doors, false alibis, and cunning disguises. Each story blends suspense, intellectual challenge, and a touch of eccentric charm, making this collection a milestone in early detective fiction. For readers who enjoy puzzles as much as adventure, The Man in the Corner offers intrigue served with a cup of tea.
