Product Information
Before Raymond Chandler, before Dorothy Sayers or Agatha Christie, there was Metta Fuller Victor, the first American author--man or woman--of a full-length detective novel. This novel, The Dead Letter , is presented here along with another of Victor's mysteries, The Figure Eight . Both written in the 1860s and published under the name Seeley Regester, these novels show how--by combining conventions of the mystery form first developed by Edgar Allan Poe with those of the domestic novel--Victor pioneered the domestic detective story and paved the way for generations of writers to follow. In The Dead Letter , Henry Moreland is killed by a single stab to the back. Against a background of post-Civil War politics, Richard Redfield, a young attorney, helps Burton, a legendary New York City detective, unravel the crime. In The Figure Eight, Joe Meredith undertakes a series of adventures and assumes a number of disguises to solve the mystery of the murder of his uncle and regain the lost fortune of his angelic cousin.

Reviews
"From the very beginning women writers have been of fundamental importance to the mystery genre and these highly entertaining works by two of the founding 'mothers' of the American mystery novel demonstrate why. Times may have changed since these books were first published, but good reading never goes out of fashion."--Dean James, coauthor of By a Woman's Hand: A Guide to Mystery Fiction by Women and manager of Murder by the Book (Houston, Texas), "[F]un to read. . . page-turning action. . . . [Nickerson's introduction] makes a resounding case for the importance of [Victor] in the development of the mystery."--Booklist "[D]elightful, illuminating, and thoroughly readable. . . . Hats off to Catherine Ross Nickerson . . . for shining a light on these long-neglected women."--Adam Woog, Seattle Times "The publication of [Victor's books] is a useful jolt, prompting us to recognize that me may have been disinclined to look for evidence that would disturb the neat contrasts of our potted history of the detective genre. . . . Victor can tell a good story. . . . [Her] novels are a welcome surpise."--Lisa Berglund, The Drood Review "[E]ngrossing reads. The Dead Letter and The Figure Eight remain landmarks in American mystery fiction for the prolific Victor's proficient application of the detective formula to a full-length work and for her marriage of the romantic novel to the mystery."--Elizabeth Foxwell, Mystery Scene "For readers who think that Lifetime movies and the muddled genre books that combine romance and serial killers are a product of our tawdry age, Duke University Press has reprinted four 19th-century sensationalist classics that are titillating, vulgar, and moralistic by turns, full of violent action and passion, and as shallow and materialistic as reality television. Such fiction, however, provided an arena for women eager to become writers, and the novels collected in these two volumes--which each contain a fine introduction by scholar Catherine Ross Nickerson--display how vital that opportunity was."--Kris Lawson, Rain Taxi "Readers interested in the development of detective fiction and popular fiction will welcome these volumes, which make available hitherto hard-to-find short novels. . . . Highly recommended."--B. Diemert, Choice "Catherine Ross Nickerson has given a delight to fans of the mystery novel by re-introducing the long-forgotten works of American author Metta Fuller Victor. . . . Nickerson . . . should be commended for bringing this exciting piece of the past to the attention of mystery fans everywhere."--Jeffrey Marks, Ohioana Quarterly "[The Dead Letter] is well enough written to show the author was good in her time, and the social and domestic details are instructive."--Jon L. Breen, The Weekly Standard, “From the very beginning women writers have been of fundamental importance to the mystery genre and these highly entertaining works by two of the founding ‘mothers’ of the American mystery novel demonstrate why.

Fans of Louisa May Alcott's thrillers will devour these inventive tales from a pioneer in American detective fiction.�-Elizabeth Foxwell, mystery writer and contributing editor, Mystery Scene magazine, "Sinister governesses sleepwalk, wronged young men vow revenge, and mysterious deathbed messages appear in two rediscovered Gothic gems from Metta Fuller Victor.
