This book is a collection of stories featuring Max Carrados, a fictional blind detective who often stars in a series of mystery stories and books by Ernest Bramah. Carrados makes use of his remaining senses in such a way that his blindness is often not immediately apparent to others. A wealthy, cultured and urbane man, he is an expert numismatist with a large private collection of bronzes, and is a specialist in forgeries. Carrados can read print by finger-touch, uses a typewriter and smokes the most desirable and unobtainable cigars. He has a trusted (sighted) manservant named Parkinson (who is trained to be highly observant but without placing his own interpretations on what he observes) and also a secretary, Mr Greatorex.

The Game Played in the Dark by Ernest Bramah is a detective suspense novel following Inspector Beedle and his many mystifying cases. Excerpt: "'It's a funny thing, sir,' said Inspector Beedel, regarding Mr. Carrados with the pensive respect that he always extended towards the blind amateur, 'it's a funny thing, but nothing seems to go on abroad now but what you'll find some trace of it here in London if you take the trouble to look.' 'In the right quarter,' contributed Carrados."
