Tales by a Female Detective [EPUB ebook] 

Tales by a Female Detective is a book by Andrew Forrester. Forrester was a British writer, novelist and playwright, and creator of one of the first female detectives in fiction. Excerpt: ‘Experience shows that this tendency to assassinate on the part of foreign malcontents is a common understanding amongst them. There is no need to refer to the attempts upon the life of the Emperor of the French, upon the life of the father of the late King of Naples—there is no need to point out that in the former cases the would-be assassins have lived in London, and have generally set out from London.’
