This early work by Ernest Bramah was originally published in the early 20th century and we are now republishing it with a brand new introduction. 'The Mystery of the Poisoned Dish of Mushrooms' is a classic case of poison and skulduggery for blind super sleuth Max Carrados. Ernest Bramah Smith was born was near Manchester in 1868. He was a poor student, and dropped out of the Manchester Grammar School when sixteen years old to go into the farming business. Bramah found commercial and critical success with his first novel, The Wallet of Kai Lung, but it was his later stories of detective Max Carrados that assured him lasting fame.
