What is The Mammoth Book of Historical Whodunnits about?

In the spirit of Umberto Ecos The Name of the Rose and Ellis Peters acclaimed Brother Cadfael mysteries, here is a collection of historical detective stories, written by contemporary authors and featuring a gallery of offbeat sleuths from the past. In a wry send-up of the classic locked room puzzle, an Egyptian sage ponders the mystery of a locked tomb. In another tale, a Roman slaves investigation of a theft leads him to people in very high places. Edgar Allan Poes Auguste Dupin has been resurrected for a new adventure, as have historical figures, from William Shakespearehot on the trail of Christopher Marlowe's murdererto Samuel Johnson, with Boswell playing his Dr. Watson! (And speaking of Watson the wizard of Baker Street, Sherlock Holmes himself, appears in an original story written by the son of Arthur Conan Doyle!) These 23 tales comprise a mixed bag of delicious crime capers designed to tickle the fancy of any dedicated mystery buff. Contents: The locked tomb mystery / Elizabeth Peters The thief versus King Rhampsinitus / Herodotus Socrates solves a murder / Brni James Mightier than the sword / John Maddox Roberts The treasury thefts / Wallace Nichols A Byzantine
