Once she has forgiven him for distracting her from her newspaper and luncheon, Miss Burton discovers that her interlocutor is as brilliantly gifted as he is eccentric—able to solve mysteries that have made headlines and baffled the finest minds of the police without once leaving his seat in the teahouse. As the weeks go by, she listens to him unravelling the trickiest of puzzles and solving the most notorious of crimes, but still one final mystery remains: the mystery of the old man in the corner himself.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Old Man in the Corner\u003c\/i\u003e is a classic collection of mysteries, featuring the Teahouse Detective—a contemporary of Sherlock Holmes, with a brilliant mind and waspish temperament to match that of Conan Doyle’s creation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eBaroness Orczy (1865-1947)\u003c\/b\u003e was a Hungarian-born British author, best known for her \u003ci\u003eScarlet Pimpernel\u003c\/i\u003e novels. Her Teahouse Detective, who features in \u003ci\u003eThe Old Man in the Corner\u003c\/i\u003e, was one of the first fictional sleuths created in response to the Sherlock Holmes stories' huge success. Initially serialised in magazines, the stories in this collection were first published in book form in 1908 and have since been adapted for radio, television and film. Two more collections of Teahouse Detective mysteries are forthcoming from Pushkin Vertigo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                    \n                \n            \u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Best Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":46556430958753,"sku":"BBSNIJ9781782275237","price":19.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0525\/2084\/5473\/files\/9781782275237.jpg?v=1781815443","url":"https:\/\/www.bestbookstore.ca\/products\/the-old-man-in-the-corner-the-teahouse-detective-paperback-by-baroness-orczy","provider":"Best Book Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
