“I grew impatient. “The horror of this moor business is getting me down. I have such little confidence, I suppose, in the official police.” “That’s your modern complex. You’re handicapped by it because you can’t get away from it. Notable writers, have, I admit, somewhat humoured our beliefs in the fatuity of the professional detective. But more, I think, to exalt their own brilliant creations, their Sherlock Holmes, Flynn, Brian. Cold Evil: An Anthony Bathurst Mystery (p. 120). Dean Street Press. Kindle Edition.”

But more, I think, to exalt their own brilliant creations, their Sherlock Holmes, Hanaud, Poirot, Inspector French, Colonel Gethryn, Philo Vance, and Ellery Queen, rather than to discredit a singularly capable body of men, which, after all, has a persistent record of success behind it to justify its being.
