Four classic Inspector Gabriel Hanaud mysteries gathered in one definitive Golden Age detective collection.
Created by A. E. W. Mason, Inspector Gabriel Hanaud stands among the earliest and most sophisticated detectives of twentieth-century crime fiction. Calm, perceptive, and methodical, Hanaud brought a continental precision to British mystery long before the Golden Age reached its height.
This Super Pack collects four of his most celebrated investigations: At the Villa Rose, The Affair at the Semiramis Hotel, The House of the Arrow, and The Ginger King. Across these novels, readers encounter locked-room puzzles, international intrigue, deceptive identities, and meticulously constructed alibis. From Riviera villas to shadowed European capitals, Hanaud pursues truth with quiet authority and intellectual discipline.
Often cited as a precursor to later master detectives of the Golden Age, Hanaud's cases combine atmosphere, suspense, and rigorous deduction. These novels helped shape the structure of modern detective fiction and remain compelling examples of early twentieth-century mystery craftsmanship.
