The fifth book in Crippen & Landru's Lost Classics series,Christianna Brand's The Spotted Cat and Other Mysteries from InspectorCockrill's Casebook, edited by Tony Medawar, gathers all ninepreviously published short stories to feature the wizened, birdlikeKent police inspector, plus one tale and a three-act play heretoforeunpublished. In his scholarly introduction, Medawar makes a cogentcase for why Brand, the pseudonym of Mary Christianna Milne Lewis(1907-1988), is long overdue for revival.
