Apart from the fact that none of the detectives featured in this collection of short stories are in any way 'Rivals' of the great detective,this is otherwise a fair selection. As will always be the case some of the stories are better than others but my personal favorites are 'The Nameless Man' and 'The Montezuma Emerald' both by an author with the splendid name of Rodriguez Ottolengui who was apparently a eminent dentist in his day. Also to be recommended are 'The Affair of Lamson's Cook' by Charles Felton Pidgin and J.M.Taylor ; 'The Infallible Godahl' by Frederick Irving Anderson and 'The Frame-Up' by Richard Harding Davis.
