About this ebook

When millionaire Joseph Crawford  is slain in the study of his New Jersey home the only physical evidence the police have to go on is a small gold bag left at the crime scene. Suspicion falls on the dead man’s niece, Florence, who admits to having once owned a similar bag and who stands to inherit the bulk of Crawford’s fortune. Amateur sleuth Burroughs believes her to be innocent. The killer could be Florence’s unscrupulous fiancé or one of the victim’s many bitter employees.

Burroughs becomes infatuated with Florence and can no longer be objective. It’s up to society detective par excellence Fleming Stone to solve the mystery of … The Gold Bag.

Author

Carolyn Wells

Carolyn Wells (1862-1942) was an American poet, librarian, and mystery writer. Born in Rahway, New Jersey, Wells began her career as a children’s author with such works as At the Sign of the Sphinx (1896), The Jingle Book (1899), and The Story of Betty (1899). After reading a mystery novel by Anna Katharine Green, Wells began focusing her efforts on the genre and found success with her popular Detective Fleming Stone stories. The Clue (1909), her most critically acclaimed work, cemented her reputation as a leading mystery writer of the early twentieth century. In 1918, Wells married Hadwin Houghton, the heir of the Houghton-Mifflin publishing fortune, and remained throughout her life an avid collector of rare and important poetry volumes.
