Murder, madness, ghosts, unsolved crimes, diabolical traps, and inexplicable disappearances abound in these exciting accounts narrated by doctors, lawyers, genetlemen, teachers, burglars, dilettantes, and convicted criminals. The titles are inviting"The Pot of Caviare, " "The Clubfooted Grocer, " "The Brazilian Cat, " "The Sealed Room, " and "There Fiend of the Coopergate"and the stoires are riveting. This is a rediscovered classic by a master storyteller.
