ith
more dramatic directness than this one. The story is admirably written,
the interest never flagging.
THE NORTHERN WHIG.--Her Splendid Sin stands for sensationalism of a
decidedly striking sort. The novel is written with vigour and is based
on ideas which go to the making of a rattling good story.
THE DUNDEE COURIER.--The reader is hurried breathless from one exciting
situation to another, till in the end the nefarious schemes of a
syndicate of villains are checkmated, and virtue is rewarded. The book
is written in the author's best style.
UNMASKED AT LAST.
THE MORNING LEADER.--Mr. Headon Hill is a past master of thrills and,
like Mr. Holmes, causes us almost to believe that the most innocent
professions are really dangerous.
THE CHRISTIAN WORLD.--The various sensations are very cleverly devised
and Mr. Headon Hill knows how to hold one's attention. The motor car
race, which is the closing episode of a well conceived plot, is full of
sport, from start to finish.
THE LIVERPOOL COURIER.--The Author has never told an intensely absorbing
story with more dramatic directness, and none who once dip into its
pages can lay it down willingly until the last chapter has been read.
A RACE WITH RUIN.
THE MORNING ADVERTISER.--A book by Headon Hill may always be relied on
to provide good reading with plenty of incident. In "A Race with Ruin"
he fully maintains his reputation, and readers will not be disappointed
in their expectation of finding a good, stirring story with an admirable
and well-worked out plot.
THE LEICESTER POST.--It is an admirable sporting story, and should not
only enhance the reputation of its Author, but materially enlarge the
circle of his readers. The plot is deftly planned, and not only soon
arouses interest, but broadens and deepens it until the close.
THE HIDDEN VICTIM.
THE MORNING LEADER.--A fine story of blackmail and plotting. "The Hidden
Victim" abounds in unusual and surprising situations.
THE NORTHERN WHIG.--Mr. Headon Hill handles his chosen topics with great
facility and a commendable degree of craftsmanship. In this novel there
is an amazing series of entanglements.
THE LIVERPOOL COURIER.--It is quite equal to anything the writer has
done. The plot is skilfully devised to carry a weighty load of exciting
episode. The narrative goes forward breathlessly and holds the
attention.
RADFORD SHONE.
THE LEICESTER POST.--Radford Shone is another very welcome volume
