About This Book
Published in 1930, Mr Fortune Explains is the sixth collection of short mystery stories by H.C. Bailey (1878-1961) featuring his celebrated detective Reginald Fortune, a surgeon and adviser to Scotland Yard. During the Golden Age of detective fiction, Bailey was ranked alongside Christie, Sayers, and Freeman as one of Britain's leading mystery writers. Fortune is a deceptively languid, food-loving gentleman whose indolent manner conceals a sharp scientific mind and fierce moral commitment to protecting the vulnerable. The collection of eight stories showcases Bailey's characteristic blend of tightly-clued puzzles, atmospheric prose, and social criticism.
