Behind a Mask: The Unknown Thrillers of Louisa May Alcott

Six years before her classic Little Women, Alcott submitted a novelette to a newspaper contest and enjoyed a prize winner. It marked the first of a series of thrillers penned by her, and the four selected for inclusion in this collection are deemed her best works in this genre. A fine presentation of thrillers which reveal quite a different side to Alcott's talents.
