Four Faultless Felons

A stolen inheritance, a vanished painting, a murder that leads not to condemnation but to understanding-here, the lines between villain and hero blur beyond recognition. In the shadowed parlours and bustling streets of Edwardian England, four enigmatic figures stand accused, yet each harbours a secret that challenges the very notion of guilt. This is classic detective fiction at its most provocative: a tapestry of crime short stories that unpick the tangled threads of redemption and justice, inviting readers to question what truly separates the criminal from the innocent.Within these pages, unconventional criminals take centre stage, their moral dilemmas rendered with a deftness that rivals the finest British mystery collections. As the stories unfold, the reader is drawn into a world where the pursuit of justice is as much about compassion as it is about the law. The tales pulse with the intrigue and wit that have delighted mystery enthusiasts for generations, yet their themes-of atonement, empathy, and the complexity of human nature-resonate powerfully with today’s audience. For those who cherish classic literature, this restored edition offers a rare glimpse into the early twentieth century’s shifting attitudes towards crime and morality, echoing the psychological subtlety that would later define the works of Agatha Christie and Dorothy L Sayers.This book was out of print for decades and is now republished by Alpha Editions.
