New York: P.F. Collier & Son, 1910. This odd volume is from a set of eight, each book dealing with actual historical crimes.

The book is bound in a deep cerise cloth with a blind-stamped cameo illustration of two swordsmen fighting. The book has gilt spine titles and blind-stamped crossed swords on the spine as well. The spine is somewhat faded, with some fraying at the spine tips. The book is tightly bound, and the pages are clean with no marks, stains, tears, or signatures from former owners.

A lackey at once got down to open the carriage door; but a sweet, though rather tremulous voice stopped him, saying, "Wait, while I see whether this is the place." Then a head, muffled so closely in a black satin mantle that no feature could be distinguished, was thrust from one of the carriage windows, and looking around, seemed to seek for some decisive sign on the house front. The unknown lady appeared to be satisfied by her inspection, for she turned back to her companion. "It is here," said she. "There is the sign." As a result of this certainty, the carriage door was opened, the two women alighted, and after having once more raised their eyes to a strip of… Read More
