The Old Man in the Corner

by Baroness Orczy

About this book

An unassuming man in a London tea shop offers explanations for crimes that have baffled the authorities. Journalist Polly Burton listens as he reconstructs cases through newspaper reports and the details others overlook.

The collection presents mysteries as conversations and competing interpretations of evidence. The old man’s confidence and distinctive habits frame stories of inheritance, disguise, theft, and murder.
