The twelve earliest Max Carrados mystery stories, first published in the UK in 1913, are collected here.

This book cover features the timeless Penguin Books design. It’s divided into three sections: green at the top and bottom with a white stripe in the middle.

At the top, the "Penguin Books" logo sits inside a white lozenge bordered in green. In the center, the book title, "Max Carrados," is written in bold black capital letters, followed by the author’s name, "Ernest Bramah," in smaller black capitals.

At the bottom, the classic Penguin mascot is centered, flanked by the words "COMPLETE" and "UNABRIDGED" in black. The vertical text "MYSTERY & CRIME" runs along both the left and right edges in green, reflecting the genre.
