THAT MAINWARING AFFAIR

ILLUSTRATED BY E. PLAISTED ABBOTT

12mo. Cloth, $1.50

"Possibly in a detective story the main object is to thrill. If so,
'That Mainwaring Affair' is all right. The thrill is there, full
measure, pressed down and running over."--_Life_, New York

"The book that reminds one of Anna Katherine Green in her palmiest
days.... Keeps the reader on the alert, defies the efforts of those who
read backward, deserves the applause of all who like mystery."--_Town
Topics_, New York

"The tale is well told, and the intricacies of the plot so adroitly
managed that it is impossible to foresee the correct solution of the
mysterious case until the final act of the tragedy.... Although vividly
told, the literary style is excellent and the story by no means
sensational, a fact that raises it above the level of the old-time
detective story,"--_Brooklyn Daily Eagle_
