Inspector Bucket's Job (Fantasy and Horror Classics)

He is the first, the sharpest, and the most chillingly modern detective of the Victorian era.

From the sprawling, fog-choked streets of London to the grand manor houses of the English countryside, Inspector Bucket of Scotland Yard is the quiet, observant force who moves through the shadows where crime and mystery intersect.

Although most famous for his pivotal role in Dickens's masterpiece Bleak House, this collection gathers the various works featuring the legendary Inspector. Unlike the amateur sleuths of his time, Bucket is the first professional detective in English fiction--a man whose power lies not in flamboyance, but in his relentless logic, his uncanny ability to read a suspect's conscience, and his pervasive knowledge of the criminal underworld.

These stories showcase Bucket's unmatched skill in navigating the labyrinth of Victorian society, where every secret leads to another and where the greatest horrors are often human. From tracking down murderers to unraveling complex social deceptions, Inspector Bucket's Job is to find the truth, no matter how deeply it is buried.

Experience the birth of modern detective fiction through the eyes of the man who sees everything--Inspector Bucket.
