E-text prepared by Suzanne Shell, Keith M. Eckrich, and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreaders Team "Four Max Carrados Detective Stories" by Ernest Bramah is a collection of detective stories written during the early 20th century. The book follows the unique and cunning blind detective Max Carrados as he uses his other heightened senses to solve intriguing mysteries, demonstrating that sight is not the only means of perception. The opening of the first story, "The Coin of Dionysius," introduces Mr. Carlyle, a private detective, who seeks the expertise of Mr. Baxter, a coin dealer, to authenticate a rare coin. Carlyle is in a desperate situation, believing the coin to be linked to an arrest that hangs in the balance. He learns about another expert, Wynn Carrados, who has the reputation for exceptional knowledge despite being blind. The exchange between Carlyle and Baxter lays a foundation of urgency and intrigue as Carlyle seeks to find Carrados and navigate through a web of deceit involving an alleged forgery.
