I adore Louis Tracy books and cannot get enough of them; and while he did not write as many White & Furneaux (the two detectives in the novel) fortunately he was prolific. This is a fabulous tale of evil, danger, intrigue and, in the end, love where the writer finds himself immersed in a murder after overhearing a man and his daughter speak outside of a theater. The man says that he's going one place but later the hero, Francis Theydon, sees the same man in the street below his apartment, and the man goes into #17. And the next day the owner of the flat is found murdered! Francis has been invited for dinner the following evening and to his surprise he is meeting that same man. White and Furneaux are a curious pair, each balancing their skills off each other. There's plenty of danger and intrigue as those on a death list receive little ivory skulls....who will be next! If you love the stories and language of the early 20th century, try this nifty mystery. I'm sure you'll love it!Product details

A great period piece.
Most enjoyable and well written
Great story
Different from what I expected from a British mystery
Will be searching for other books by the same author
Good story with interesting characters. May challenge your vocabulary but can hover your finger over the word and on my kindle a dictionary pops up and defines the word. First book I read on my new kindle. Quick and an enjoyable read which would have made an excellent old time radio program ... don't know if it ever was ... May hear it sometime on my xm-radio.
Wonderfully plotted, interesting characters, and enjoyable to read. There's just something about books from this era that appeal strongly to me. This was delightfully involved and mysterious!
First Louis Tracy novel I've read. Impressed, and I love mysteries from this era. You have the heroic young leads, romance, action, and touches of wit with two mismatched Scotland yard inspectors forming the backbone of the novel. I understand Tracy used the same two inspectors, in the same way, in other mysteries, just the young folk change. I'll be looking them up. Well written and a unique idea for me. Highly recommended.
While some will balk at categorical racism that prevailed at the time, closer reading shows prescient geopolitical savvy and a genteel approach to action and adventure refreshing in these violent times. Good solid mystery adventure. A nice world to visit. / Gene Stewart
A Chinese plot to overthrow the government by eliminating the man in England who is financing the reform. It's an exciting story of trying to preserve the names of the men who are struggling for reform in China without the methods of detection we have today. It's an exciting story and I recommend it.
