  • The closed book; concerning the secret of the Borgias

    Paperback (RareBooksClub.com, May 21, 2012)
    This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1904 Excerpt: ...and visit Crowland, as it is now spelled, tomorrow. I've heard that the ruins of the abbey are very fine. It will be an interesting outing, if nothing else." "Before we go we had better take a tracing of the unnamed plan," I suggested. "It may assist us, and yet it may, on the other hand, be a plan of an entirely different place.

At seven-thirty, after an early dinner, we left by the London express for Peterborough, arriving back at the old-fashioned "Angel" just before eleven. In traveling I carried the precious Arnoldus myself, fearing to lose it; but at our hotel I again transferred it to the landlord's safe, with injunctions to the hotel keeper to be careful of it, as its value was considerable.

Perhaps you may have visited it, an old-world straggling place clustering about the time-worn, blackened ruins of the ancient abbey, a venerable pile which even in its present gaunt decay displays mute evidence of a long-past glory. As we stood before its restored tower and great ruined, roofless aisles, where arches still remain that are t...

  • The Sign of Silence

    William, Le Queux,, Sir Angels

    Paperback (CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform, July 22, 2017)
    A Mystery Thriller: "Really, it's the most extraordinary story of London life that I've ever heard," Phrida Shand declared, leaning forward in her chair, clasping her small white hands as, with her elbows upon the table-à-deux, she looked at me with her wondrous dark eyes across the bowl of red tulips between us.
