Murder comes in two familiar forms. Whether as a crime of passion with high emotions or a cold dispassionate plot to take life in order to gain in some way, the act strikes us all as somehow inhuman. Beneath us as civilised beings. But however we cloak our animal instincts the need to remove a human being and gain relief from abuse or gain from money, the term is just the same – MURDER. Robert Louis Stevenson, Arthur Conan Doyle, J M Barrie, W W Jacobs and many others bring their literary heft to bear in as calculating a way as any killer could.

Ernest Bramah was born on 20th March 1868. He was an intensely private man and very little about his life was ever released. He obtained success in his own right with the creation of the storyteller Kai Lung with humourous tales set in China, usually laced with fantasy elements. There seems to have been a certain vogue for stories with an oriental element at this time, which Bramah was happy to take advantage of. In 1914 Bramah created the blind detective Max Carrados. Despite the obvious obstacle to his deductive powers, he was a literary and commercial success.

This fused together his passion for sleuthing and interest in the Occult. It was a memorable success.

It is a delicious literary irony that Mary E. Penn, a writer of ghost, crime and mystery short stories during the Victorian era, is a complete enigma. All that remain of her life are the 29 or so stories that were published or attributed to her. ‘In the Mist’ is set in the county of Cornwall. When two lovers jealously quarrel, the result appears to end in murder. But what exactly did happen?

Arthur Conan Doyle was born in Edinburgh, Scotland, on 22nd May 1859. His literary career burst into life in November 1886 with ‘A Study In Scarlet’, the first of the fabulously successful Sherlock Holmes stories.

Hard-boiled detectives. Tough. Cynical. But they always get the job done no matter who - or what - gets in their way. Richard Rogue was one of those hard-boiled detectives. He had a way with one liners, a way with the ladies and a way of solving crimes that is probably unique on the airwaves. Every time he got took a fist to the jaw and got knocked out his subconscious took the clues and gave him the answer.
