Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Master Hand, the Story of a Crime While the changes of scene and names which I shall allow myself may involve some minor changes in the same line, I shall take no ad vantage of the opportunity that may thereby be afforded to complicate or exaggerate in any way the mystery that veiled the case, for to do so would be to subvert my purpose; but shall adhere to a plain statement of the facts, in every particular, as they successively discovered themselves to me. That it will prove an enter taining tale I do not promise, but that it will be a curious and interesting one I feel sure, and especially so to those who by profession are brought in contact with crime in its various phases.

Download or read book The Criminal written by George H. Hepworth and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-01-24 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Criminal: The Crime; The Penalty These words were true three thousand years ago, and they are equally true to-day. It has been the concurrent experi ence of all ages, that wrong prevails but a little while and, though it succeed in putting on the imperial robes of power, it shortly comes to grief. We see a new and fearful illus tration of this law, an illustration that speaks with warning eloquence to all American citizens, in the short but ignoble career of that man who is at last a captive in the hands of justice. We look back upon the rebellion which he inaugu rated, and which in crumbling is likely to bury him beneath its ruins, and we search in vain for a single bright spot in all its black darkness of cruelty and crime. Generally, in a vast movement of this kind, involving the welfare of so many persons, one can find an excuse either in the motive which began it, the heroism which illustrated it, or the sublime courage, overcome but not conquered, which marked its end. But here you read the whole tragedy through with an aching heart, from the first to the last act: in the plot and in the actors, you find no single attribute of pure, high minded, revolutionary fame.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The perfect Christmas gift! Curl up by the fire with this chilling collection of tales from one of the original masters of mystery and the macabre... 'Meantime the hellish tattoo of the heart increased. It grew quicker and quicker, and louder and louder every instant. The old man's terror must have been extreme! It grew louder, I say, louder every moment! --do you mark me well? I have told you that I am nervous: so I am. And now at the dead hour of the night, amid the dreadful silence of that old house, so strange a noise as this excited me to uncontrollable terror.' The melancholy, brilliance, passionate lyricism and torment of Edgar Allen Poe are all well represented in this timeless collection. Here, in one volume, are his masterpieces of mystery, terror, humour and adventure, including stories such as The Tell-Tale Heart, The Cask of Amontillado, The Black Cat, The Masque of the Red Death, The Murders in the Rue Morgue, and The Pit and the Pendulum, and his finest lyric and narrative poetry -The Ravenand Annabel Lee, to name just a few - that defined American romanticism and secured Poe as one of the most enduring literary voices of the nineteenth century.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Olga's Crime The driver stood up in the fore part of the sledge, steady ing himself with his whip hand by the leather hood which protected his passengers - a man in a conical Tartan cap of astrachan, overlapped at the ears by the collar of a huge sheep-skin coat, with no visible features but a pair of fer ret eyes, a red snub nose, and a bristling mustache, rigid with his frozen breath. With a shake of the reins and a guttural scream he put the three horses to a gallop, and then turned sharply to scan the plain behind. Nothing there but a vast undulating sweep of snow, stretching away without visible break to the black sky which sharply defined the horizon, and the diminishing line of telegraph poles marking the track through the desert: Nothing save a tiny patch beyond the vanishing point of the telegraph poles, which might have been a bush or a rock.

Download or read book Bucholz and the Detectives Classic Reprint written by Allan Pinkerton and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-02 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bucholz and the Detectives The criminal, yielding to a natural impulse of human nature, must seek for sympathy. His crime haunts him continually, and the burden of concealment becomes at last too heavy to bear alone. It must find a voice; and whether it be to the empty air in fitful dreamings, or into the ears of a sympathetic friend - he must relieve hi, of the terrible secret which is bearing him own. Then it is that the watch ful detective may seize the criminal in his moment of weakness and by his sympathy, and from the confidence he has engendered, he will force from him the story of his crime. That such a course was necessary to be pur sued in this case will be apparent to all. The suspected man had been precipitately arrested, and no opportunity was afforded to watch his movements or to become associated with him while he was at liberty. He was an inmate of a prison when I assumed the task of his detection, and the course pursued was the only one which afforded the slightest promise of success; hence its adoption.
