Who Says Solving Crimes Is A Tedious Job?“...women have done strange things; they are a far greater puzzle to the student of human nature than the sterner, less complex sex has ever been.” - Emmuska Orczy, The Old Man in the CornerBaroness Orczy isn’t only known for the famous adventure novel The Scarlet Pimpernel. She also gave life to one of the most nonconformist passive detectives you’ll ever find in literature. The Old Man in the Corner isn’t your average Sherlock Holmes; he is a nameless protagonist who sits in the corner of a London tea shop talking to a journalist about murder cases. He doesn’t trust the English police and their ways to solving a crime. Instead, he relies on logic and human behavioral patterns to identify to true killer.
