Included in The Washington Post’s ‘Top Fiction Books for 2014’ List Publisher’s Weekly called Derek Smith’s Whistle Up The Devil “one of the most intelligent and crafty impossible murder novels of all time”, and The Washington Post called Come to Paddington Fair “a masterpiece”. This omnibus edition includes both novels, plus the Sexton Blake novella Model for Murder — a well-constructed thriller with an ingenious locked room puzzle — and the unpublished non-impossible short story ‘The Perfect Crime’.  Introduced by noted locked room expert Bob Adey, who knew Derek well, it also includes a mass of illuminating background material about this little-known Golden Age writer who deserves a much wider audience.
