About this ebook
A crime novel set in the south of France where a gambler wins plenty of money only to have it removed from him with fatal consequences. The narrator of the novel, Carmela Rosselli, was friendly with the gambler and when he is discovered in her room she sets about trying to discover who caused him harm. Her quest takes her all over the fashionable south of France, on a cruise around the Mediterranean and finally to Paris. There are plenty of shady characters around on whom suspicion falls and Carmela is confused as to who is who and what is what. But, in the tradition of all good crime novels, she eventually works out what has gone on and, in a somewhat surprising finale, solves the mystery. The feel of early 20th century France is admirably captured in a novel, typical of the period, redolent with plenty of melodrama. (Goodreads) This edition has been fully restored with modern typesetting, custom cover design.

About the author
William Tufnell Le Queux (2 July 1864 – 13 October 1927) was an Anglo-French journalist and writer. He was also a diplomat (honorary consul for San Marino), a traveller (in Europe, the Balkans and North Africa), a flying buff who officiated at the first British air meeting at Doncaster in 1909, and a wireless pioneer who broadcast music from his own station long before radio was generally available; his claims regarding his own abilities and exploits, however, were usually exaggerated. His best-known works are the anti-French and anti-Russian invasion fantasy The Great War in England in 1897 (1894) and the anti-German invasion fantasy The Invasion of 1910 (1906), the latter becoming a bestseller.
