Miss Loveday Brooke was one of the of the very first fictional female detectives -- an unheard-of profession for a woman in Victorian London. This volume collects seven of her classic adventures: "The Black Bag Left on a Door-Step," "The Murder at Troyte's Hill," "The Redhill Sisterhood," "A Princess's Vengeance," "Drawn Daggers," "The Ghost of Foutain Lane," and "Missing!" These stories all originally appeared in Ludgate Magazine in the 1890s.
