The Mind of Mr. J. G. Reeder

<p>Mr. J. G. Reeder, mild-mannered, slightly shabby, and a throw-back with his mutton-chops and silk hat, is often mistaken for an office clerk. But his superiors have recognized his special gift: Reeder has a criminal mind. As an employee of the Department of Public Prosecutions, he’s frequently called upon to exercise his unusual talent to solve crimes that have confounded the local police.</p> <p>In this collection of eight stories, Mr. Reeder solves robberies, burglaries, and murders, often at great risk to his personal health and well-being, and frequently employing his great insight into human nature and the criminal mind.</p> <p>Published under the title <i>The Murder Book of Mr. J. G. Reeder</i> in the United States, these stories were adapted for British television between 1969 and 1971 and also for BBC Radio in 2007.</p>
