A bundle of novels from the pen of Edmund Crispin, featuring Professor Gervase Fen--the eccentric Oxford don with a knack for solving "impossible" crimes.
Holy Disorders - reprinted, 1960
Fen is in Tolnbridge, where he is happily bounding around with a butterfly net until the cathedral organist is murdered, giving him the chance to play sleuth. The man didn't have an enemy in the world, and even his music was inoffensive: Could he have fallen afoul of a nest of German spies or of the local coven of witches, ominously rumored to have been practicing since the 17th century?
The Moving Toyshop - reprinted, 1960
It is late at night when poet Cadogan stumbles on the dead body of an old lady in an Oxford toyshop. The following morning, the toyshop has vanished and in its place is a grocery store. Nobody, not even the police, seem surprised…
Buried for Pleasure - reprinted, 1961
When young actress Gloria Scott throws herself from Waterloo Bridge, the news sends shockwaves through her film studio. Luckily Fen is in London to investigate. But when someone acts fast to cover up any evidence – removing all signs of Ms Scott’s identity from her apartment and poisoning a suspicious cameraman – the truth is hard to find…
Frequent Hearses - reprinted, 1960
At the offices of the Hatton Garden diamond merchant Duke and Peabody, the body of old Mr Gething is discovered beside a now-empty safe.

Meticulous as ever, Inspector French of Scotland Yard embarks on an investigation that takes him from the streets of London to Holland, France and Spain, and finally to a ship bound for South America…
