Synopsis

Meet the Problemist Thornley Colton – the first blind detective.
Thornley Colton, Problemist, is a 'blind detective' from the golden age of detective fiction – and among the very first in this fascinating sub-genre. Relying mainly on his enhanced senses and sharpness of mind, he only takes on the most mystifying of cases, strictly for the pleasure of unravelling a mystery.
Whether it's the disappearance of a jewel from a locked room in front of witnesses; or the disappearance of a man under the eye of the Secret Service; or the Murder of a highly reputed Assassin from her locked hotel room, the Problemist will solve them all.
This collection includes all of the Thornley Colton mysteries: 8 short stories and the novel, Silver Sandals.
