[X Y Z A Detective Story]. V Labirinte Grekhov.  A novel.

Life-time edition. Original edition was published in 1883.

Anna Katharine Green (1846-1935) was among the pioneering writers of detective fiction in the United States, earning her the title "the mother of the detective novel."

Before the Russian Revolution, approximately a dozen of Green's novels were translated into Russian. Some of these translations were based on the French editions, and, quite notably, in certain editions, the author's gender was misrepresented as male. In the Soviet Union, her novels remained unpublished and faded into obscurity. Nevertheless, Russia's rediscovery of Green occurred roughly a decade ago, thanks to a dedicated translation project focused on Victorian-era detectives. As a result, one of her stories received a fresh translation, and some of the old translations of her novels were reprinted.
