The Collected Mysteries of Anna Katharine Green (Halcyon Classics)

THE COLLECTED MYSTERIES OF ANNA KATHARINE GREEN contains 49 novels and short mysteries by early mystery writer Anna Katharine Green. Green used both male and female protagonists in her works, creating the memorable characters Amelia Butterworth and Detective Ebenezer Gryce. Her young female detective, Violet Strange, was featured in a number of short mysteries and might have served as an inspiration for Nancy Drew.

Anna Katharine Green (1846-1935) was a pioneering American author of detective fiction. Her legally accurate and intricately-plotted works served to inspire later generations of writers, including Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Agatha Christie, who patterned her 'Miss Marple' character after Green's spinster crimefighter Amelia Butterworth.
