«La compagnia dei distratti» is the detective story by Scottish writer Robert Barr, published by Polillo in paperback (55 pages, in Italian).
In 1896 England, French detective Eugène Valmont investigates a supposed gang of forgers until the case takes an unexpected turn. Valmont is not an infallible sleuth: he reasons keenly but is often defeated a step from victory, and accepts his setbacks with good sportsmanship.
The story was originally published in 1906 as «The Absent-Minded Coterie»; this Italian edition is number 15 of the I bassotti collection.
A work of interest for readers of classic detective fiction who want to discover the literary precursor of Hercule Poirot.
