"In 1864, under the pseudonym Andrew Forrester, the first professional female detective in British fiction was introduced — Mrs Gladden, known only as 'G'. Her deductive methods and energetic approach anticipate those of Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes. She enters scenes of crime incognito, tracking down killers while concealing her own tracks and identity. It is her ability to apply her considerable energy and intelligence to solve crimes that is her greatest appeal, and the reappearance of the original lady detective will be welcomed by fans of crime fiction."
