Description

This Deadly Isle

Running the length and breadth of the British Isles, This Deadly Isle is an illustrated map and guide plotting 51 real locations from books and stories from the Golden Age Of Detective Fiction – the period roughly between WWI and WWII.

The titans of the genre are represented here – Agatha Christie, Margery Allingham, Dorothy L Sayers, Ngaio Marsh, Anthony Berkeley – along with many less heralded authors.

The map charts crimes countrywide, from the Home Counties to the Hebrides, all painstakingly researched and documented by crime novelist, critic and historian Martin Edwards.
