Sporting Detective Stories

Ellery Queen, Ed. - Sporting Detective Stories

 

 

A themed anthology with a mixture of well-known and obscure authors. Most of the stories are standard mystery type, although the Dashiell Hammett entry has no solution. The status of some of the pursuits as sports is rather dubious!
