A masterwork of Golden Age mystery, And Dangerous to Know by Elizabeth Daly draws readers into an intricately plotted world of suspense, rare books, and hidden menace. The novel chronicles the investigations of Henry Gamadge, Daly's beloved amateur detective and bibliophile, as he uncovers a sinister web of secrets that prove far more lethal than anyone could have anticipated — where the past is never truly buried and knowledge itself becomes a deadly currency. Daly, widely celebrated as Agatha Christie's favourite American mystery writer, crafts narratives of rare sophistication, blending the genteel atmosphere of New York society with the cold precision of a mastermind plot. Her prose is measured and intelligent, rewarding attentive readers with layered clues and elegant characterisation, while Gamadge himself stands as one of crime fiction's most distinctive and endearing sleuths. Published by London's Hammond, Hammond & Company, this British edition attests to Daly's transatlantic appeal — and one is left to wonder just what dangerous knowledge Gamadge will risk everything to reveal.
