Max Carrados

"Max Carrados" by Ernest Bramah is a collection of detective stories first published in 1914. The book introduces Max Carrados, a blind detective who solves mysteries through his extraordinary heightened senses and powers of deduction. Assisted by his friend Mr. Carlyle, a private investigator, Carrados uses his acute hearing, touch, and reasoning to unravel complex cases—from forgeries and disappearances to murders and espionage. George Orwell praised these tales as among the few detective stories worth re-reading since Poe.
