“X Y Z: A Detective Story” is an 1883 detective novella by American novelist and poet Anna Katharine Green (1846–1935). Among the first writers of detective fiction in America, she is considered to be the “mother” of the genre for her legally-accurate and well-thought-out plots. A Government agent is assigned a case involving counterfeiting, but ends up head first in an active criminal investigation, with many twists along the way and accidently stepping inside the shoes of the ones being investigated, this fun, action packed mystery will keep you guessing. A gripping tale of mystery and intrigue that will not disappoint fans of classic detective fiction. Contents include: “The Mysterious Rendezvous”, “The Black Domino”, “An Unexpected Calamity”, “In the Library”, and “The Yellow Domino”. Other notable works by this author include: “The Leavenworth Case” (1878), “A Strange Disappearance” (1880), and “The Circular Study” (1900). Read & Co. Classics is proudly republishing this vintage detective novel now in a brand new edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.
