About This Book

The narrative centers on a young woman living in a Devonshire grange whose calm household is disturbed when a well-dressed stranger calls with questions about a long-closed country house, prompting curiosity and speculation among relatives and a local solicitor. The plot moves through genteel drawing-room scenes and family interaction as an underlying mystery linked to property and social circumstances gradually emerges, and themes of romance, reputation, and rural social mores are explored in a sentimental, melodramatic register.

The Best of Everything!


Our experience with the American reading public has taught us that it expects better reading than readers of any other nationality. Why? Because Americans, as a rule, are better educated and more intelligent. We make it a point to cater to all classes of readers with our paper-covered novels. If a man likes adventure or detective stories, he can find more and better ones in the S. & S. novel list than he can among the cloth books. If a woman wants love, society, or mystery stories, the S. & S. catalogue again contains just what she wants at the lowest possible price. If a boy wants up-to-date baseball, athletic, or treasure-hunt stories, he cannot get anything that will please him so much as the books in the Medal and New Medal Libraries, no matter how much he has to spend for his reading matter.

Here are a few suggestions:

BOOKS FOR MEN.

The Nick Carter stories in the New Magnet Library.

The Howard W. Erwin stories in the Far West Library.

The William Wallace Cook stories in the New Fiction Library.
