This early work by Ernest Bramah was originally published in 1927 and we
are now republishing it with a brand new introduction. 'The Crime at the
House in Culver Street' is a classic case for blind super sleuth Max
Carrados. Ernest Bramah Smith was born was near Manchester in 1868. He
was a poor student, and dropped out of the Manchester Grammar School
when sixteen years old to go into the farming business. Bramah found
commercial and critical success with his first novel, The Wallet of Kai
Lung, but it was his later stories of detective Max Carrados that
assured him lasting fame.
