Uncle Abner, Master of Mysteries : A Collection of Classic Detective Stories

This acclaimed collection — perhaps the finest of short American detective stories — chronicles the crime-solving exploits of a powerful mind and moral figure in the 19th-century Appalachian wilderness.

Uncle Abner employs shrewd deductive skills and his faith-based sense of justice to expose evil-doing in these 18 intriguing stories.

Enriched by historical, political, religious, and legal observations, the tales are often favorably compared with Chesterton's Father Brown mysteries.
