Only one drunken man knows the true identity of the killer but he has mysteriously disappeared. Deceit and betrayal flourish in this story, with a tense conclusion. (Introduction by Tom Weiss)

Kriminalroman nach den Mitteilungen eines Kriminalkommissars (Untertitel)
Arthur Zapp war ein „Vielschreiber“, der zu seinen Lebzeiten sehr bekannt war und auch viel gelesen wurde. Eine gewisse Trivialität ist seinen Werken nicht abzusprechen.
Im vorliegenden Roman beschreibt Zapp detailliert und spannend die Ermittlungs- und Auflkärungsarbeiten zur Aushebung eines Falschmünzerringes.
Die Möglichkeiten der Kriminalpolizei waren um die Wende vom 19. zum 20. Jahrhundert entsprechenden dem damaligen technischen Entwicklungsstand sehr beschränkt.
Observation von Personen und Objekten, Vernehmung von Straftätern, Analyse von Strafprozessakten und der Einsatz verdeckter Ermittle...

MANUAL OF SURGERY, OXFORD MEDICAL PUBLICATIONS
BY ALEXIS THOMSON, F.R.C.S.Ed.
PREFACE TO SIXTH EDITION Much has happened since this Manual was last revised, and many surgical lessons have been learned in the hard school of war. Some may yet have to be unlearned, and others have but little bearing on the problems presented to the civilian surgeon. Save in its broadest principles, the surgery of warfare is a thing apart from the general surgery of civil life, and the exhaustive literature now available on every aspect of it makes it unnecessary that it should receive detailed consideration in a manual for students. In preparing this new edition, therefore, we have endeavoured to incor...

Student Lucile Tucker works part-time at the library of the large university she attends in Chicago to help pay her tuition. One night, while closing the library for the evening, she glimpses a small child – a girl – in the stacks. Carefully following her, Lucile can’t believe her eyes when the child, unaware that she has been seen, manages to steal a valuable book from the collection and practically disappear from the library right before Lucile’s eyes. This is only the beginning of her search for why this child took this book (and others). Lucile enlists the assistance of her good friend and roommate Florence, a fellow student, to attempt to solve this mystery on her own. She can’t bear...

"Späte Rache" (engl. A Study in Scarlet, deutsch auch unter dem Titel Eine Studie in Scharlachrot erschienen), von Arthur Conan Doyle im Alter von 27 Jahren verfasst, beschreibt zunächst, wie Sherlock Holmes und Dr. Watson sich kennenlernen und ist damit der Beginn der Reihe von Geschichten um den berühmten fiktiven Detektiv.
Der Roman besteht aus zwei Teilen: Er beginnt mit Dr. Watsons Aufzeichnungen über sein Zusammentreffen mit Sherlock Holmes und der Schilderung eines merkwürdigen Mordfalls und dessen Aufklärung. Im zweiten Teil wird die Vorgeschichte des Mordes erzählt, die sich in einer Mormonengemeinde in Utah zutrug. Zum Schluss werden die beiden Teile noch einmal...

Believed to have been written by Chicago socialite, Emma Murdock Van Deventer, this detective story set at the World's Fair follows Carl Masters as he is in pursuit of international criminals Greenback Bob and Delbras.

The title and subtitle pretty much say it all. Twenty biographical sketches of people you would not want your son or daughter to marry.

Stevenson's introduction of the protagonist Lester (law clerk with New York firm Graham & Royce) finds him occupying a front row seat in the murder trial of Wall Street multi-millionaire Hiram Holladay. Scandalously, suspicion points very solidly on the banker's loving daughter, Frances. Lester proves himself a useful aide to the firm's senior partner, Mr. Royce, in his attempt to prove the lovely Frances innocent.

A charming mystery story set in the early 1900s which is as much about the townspeople, sleuths and other colorful characters as it is about the murder. Filled with comic antics of Scotland Yard fellows, local police, and residents of the town, keeps the murder ever elusive. The "whodunit" is maintained until the very end and the laughter keeps going even after the mystery is solved.
