The Sleuth Of St. James Street is a collection of short stories written by Melville Davisson Post. The book features the character of Uncle Abner, a wise and insightful detective who solves crimes in the rural areas of West Virginia during the late 19th century. The stories are set in a time when the law was often ineffective and justice was sought through unconventional means. Uncle Abner is a deeply religious man who uses his knowledge of human nature and his faith to solve crimes that often involve complex moral dilemmas. The stories in the book are full of suspense, intrigue, and unexpected twists and turns. The Sleuth Of St. James Street is a classic work of detective fiction that has stood the test of time and continues to captivate readers with its clever plots and memorable characters.It is the inspirational quality in these cases he said, that impresses me. It is very nearly absent in our modern methods of criminal investigation. We depend now on a certain formal routine. I rarely find a man in the whole of Scotland Yard with a trace of intuitive impulse to lead him . . . . Observe how this old justice in Virginia bridged the gaps between his incidents.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
