A Mysterious Disappearance-
Gordon Holmes has a happy method in the way he talks to his readers. He takes something for granted instead of spinning out to a fine point every single idea.He gives us two diametrically opposite characters in his two detectives—the Scotland Yard man and the amateur. Then he gives his readers the same clues the detectives have in Lady Dyke's disappearance.No reader can resist the subtle invitation to speculate as to what has happened and is going to happen. It is a most involved tangle.
Cynthia's Chauffeur-
A pretty American girl in London is touring in a car with a chauffeur whose identity puzzles her. An amusing mystery.
The Stowaway Girl-
A shipwreck, a lovely girl stowaway, a rascally captain, a fascinating officer, and thrilling adventures in South Seas.
Number Seventeen-
Sparring police partners Winter and Furneaux are back at each others throats in this mystery-thriller, as they solve the murder of Edith Lester, occupant of room Number Seventeen.
The Stowmarket Mystery, Or, A Legacy of Hate-
Featuring Reginald Brett, Barrister Detective, an insightful, Sherlockian investigator.
The Great Mogul-
Story readers, young or old, like a world of action; enough excitement for spice and enough love making to balance and blend the whole. The Great Mogul is dramatic, it has a vivid personal style.
A Son of the Immortals-
A young American is proclaimed king of a little Balkan Kingdom, and a pretty Parisian art student is the power behind the throne. "Adventures and stirring situations follow closely upon one another's heels all through."
The Wheel O' Fortune-
The story deals with the finding of a papyrus containing the particulars of some of the treasures of the Queen of Sheba.
The Captain of the Kansas-
Love and the salt sea, a helpless ship whirled into the hands of cannibals, desperate fighting and a tender romance.
The Late Tenant-
et another thrilling story by this British writer and journalist.
