William Le Queux appears in Rivals of Sherlock Holmes 2, a 1979 anthology that collects detective and mystery fiction from writers who were contemporaries of Arthur Conan Doyle. Le Queux’s inclusion reflects his standing as one of the popular thriller and mystery writers of the late Victorian and Edwardian periods.
The anthology places Le Queux in context alongside other writers who were exploring crime, detection, and espionage fiction during the same era as the Sherlock Holmes stories. While Le Queux is better known for his spy fiction than his detective stories, his mystery writing was part of the same literary tradition.
