Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Mystery of June 13th The generous reception which the Press and Public gave The Darrow Enigma is responsible for the present story. May it not be considered an ungracious return for the kind treatment I have received. Lest a misapprehension spread still further, it is per haps but fair to state here that I am not a student of detective literature; that I know little of the methods usually employed in such stories, and have not felt it necessary to follow that little. I am even guilty of the heresy of believing that a mystery story may be written in the perusal of which the reader will find not merely pleasure, but a modicum of profit as well. Should the present story justify this belief, in howso ever slight a degree, I shall be well pleased. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Moreton Mystery Certainly the girl in the next room had not! The eve ning before he had envied her, or, rather, he had en vied the man who had joined her. He had seen her; the man he had not seen. Parker had passed her door just as she was entering it, preceded by a bell-boy bear ing a single suit-case. She had turned to close her door, flinging back, as she turned, the long automobile veil she was wearing, and he had seen her face dis tinctly, an imperfect oval, a brow too wide and low to complete the oval of check and Chin; dominant eyes the color of sea-water on a cold gray day and heavily fringed with black; straight determined brows; nose faintly piquant; a voluptuous mouth; dusky satin-so ft skin. It was a contradictory face and arresting, ice cold eyes, warm mouth, and pomegranate tinting. She was not tall, below the usual woman's height, slim and well formed - and young, certainly not over twenty two. F or a moment, before the door closed on her, her eyes had met his fully, and coldly, and Parker had ex perienced an instant interest. Was it possible that she was alone in this hotel overrun with officers, men of all descriptions and many nationalities, and, in addi tion to them, the civilians who were coming and going to Washington? Scarcely the place for a strikingly beautiful young girl. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

However confidently he may appear to have expressed the views which he has advanced, he hopes that he has a sufficiently open mind fully to appreciate the force of the objections which may be urged against them, and he is not so strongly wedded to any particular theory as to be desirous of sup porting it against the weight of evidence. His sole desire is to discover, or to assist in discovering, the true solution of Dickens's puzzle, and if his own ideas are shown to be untenable, he will have no hesitation in abandoning them.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Mystery Mind In her vexation Violet turned in bed, boring with a very blond head into the depths of her pillow. It was unreasonable; wholly unreasonable. Doctor Sutton, her guardian, had insisted that she postpone her wedding until after her eighteenth birthday. That was a difference of only a very few weeks, but it disarranged all her pet plans, it meant that she would have to wait just that much longer, and she loved Robert better than anything else in the world. A sharp slam of the shutter startled her, scattering rebellious thoughts widecast. There was no mistaking the metallic sound as the heavy, old-fashioned wooden frame engaged the catch holding it to the side of the house. Yet outside there was not the faintest breath of breeze. No stir of the foliage framing the open square of window reassured her. No movement of the sultry air accounted for the interruption to her very sulky reflections.

Seeking relief from the scorching heat of the New York summer of 1899, Dr. Charles Fortescue climbed to the roof of his office building with a rug and his pipe, and spent the wee hours of the morning unexpectedly watching a series of strange events through the windows of the swanky Rosemere apartment house across the street. A woman's scream in the dark, a man half-carrying a fair-haired woman from a sitting-room, a man in another apartment crawling on hands and knees, a raven-haired woman sobbing in despair at another window, and a man slipping furtively from the building's back door and down the street. Summoned to examine a body discovered in the Rosemere House the next morning, Dr. Fortescue is surprised to find that the man has been dead for at least twenty-four hours. Fortescue and New York's Detective Merritt are drawn into an investigation with no shortage of prospective suspects, but a distinct lack of evidence to work with, starting with the fact that the identity of the victim is as mysterious as the identity of the killer. In this variation of the classic "locked room puzzle," the question isn't how the murder could have been committed in the locked room, the question is how a dead body found its way into a locked and vacant apartment during the night ... and where it was hidden for the day between the victim's death and the discovery of the body. The answers to these questions will lead to the identity of the killer, and the rather unusual conclusion of this mystery.
