Detective Gryce, N. Y. P. D.

More about the book

Anna Katherine Green significantly shaped American detective fiction, being one of its pioneering authors. Her debut novel, published in 1878, introduced Detective Ebenezer Gryce, who, along with his sidekick Amelia Butterworth, became a staple in the genre. Green's works also feature the 'girl detective' Violet Strange, set against the vibrant backdrop of late 19th-century New York City. This special edition compiles six volumes of Gryce's adventures, including both novels and short stories, making it a vital collection for enthusiasts of classic crime fiction.
