Green has been called the mother of the detective novel. The Leavenworth Case (1878), praised by Wilkie Collins, and the hit of the year. She became a bestselling author, eventually publishing about 40 books. One of the first writers of detective fiction in America, distinguished by well plotted, legally accurate stories. She is credited with shaping detective fiction into its classic form, and developing the series detective. Her main character was detective Ebenezer Gryce of the New York Metropolitan Police Force, but in three novels he is assisted by the nosy society spinster Amelia Butterworth, the prototype for Miss Marple, Miss Silver and other creations. She also invented the 'girl detective': in the character of Violet Strange, a debutante with a secret life as a sleuth.ContentsThe Sword of Damocles, A Story of New York LifeOne of My SonsThe Doctor, his Wife, and the ClockThe House in the MistThe Chief LegateeHand and RingThree Thousand DollarsThe Mill MysteryThe Staircase At The Hearts DelightMidnight In Beauchamp RowThe Hermit Of ------ StreetDark HollowAgatha WebbThe Old Stone House and Other StoriesThe House of the Whispering PinesThe Filigree BallRoom Number 3 and Other Detective StoriesThe Forsaken InnThe Woman in the AlcoveA Difficult ProblemThe Millionaire BabyThe Gray MadamCynthia Wakeham's Money Less
