This early work by Ernest Bramah was originally published in the early
20th century and we are now republishing it with a brand new
introduction. 'The Ghost at Massingham Mansions' is a classic mystery
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.
