The Golden Slipper, and Other Problems for Violet Strange: Nine elegant mysteries featuring a society belle with a secret talent for detection.

The Golden Slipper, and Other Problems for Violet Strange introduces one of Anna Katharine Green’s most distinctive detective heroines: Violet Strange, a young society woman whose charm, wit, and social position conceal an unexpected gift for solving delicate mysteries.

Across nine intriguing cases, Violet moves through drawing rooms, country houses, fashionable gatherings, and private scandals, uncovering thefts, hidden motives, suspicious deaths, missing evidence, and secrets too sensitive for ordinary police work. From “The Golden Slipper” to “Violet’s Own,” each problem reveals a different side of her intelligence, courage, and emotional complexity.

First published in the early twentieth century, this collection is an important classic of female detective fiction from Anna Katharine Green, one of the pioneering voices of American mystery writing.
