William Le Queux

William Le Queux (1864-1927) was an Anglo-French journalist, novelist, and radio broadcaster. Born in London to a French father and English mother, Le Queux studied art in Paris and embarked on a walking tour of Europe before finding work as a reporter for various French newspapers. Towards the end of the 1880s, he returned to London where he edited Gossip and Piccadilly before being hired as a reporter for The Globe in 1891. After several unhappy years, he left journalism to pursue his creative interests. Le Queux made a name for himself as a leading writer of popular fiction with such espionage thrillers as The Great War in England in 1897 (1894) and The Invasion of 1910 (1906). In addition to his writing, Le Queux was a notable pioneer of early aviation and radio communication, interests he maintained while publishing around 150 novels over his decades long career.

    Doctor Ralph Boyd and his friend Ambler Jevons are talking one day of Boyd's future wife,Ethelwynn. Jevons is an 'investigator of mysteries' who often assists the official police in the style of Sherlock Holmes. He warns his friend against Elhelwyn,but refuses to give concrete reasons for his suspicions. This lady lives in a household which includes her sister Mary and her elderly husband Courtenay. One evening a servant rushes to the doctor's house and begs him to come quickly as Courtney has been found dead and probably murdered.Thus begins a twisted tale of dark deeds which before it ends,involves several other murders too.Apart from a slightly unsatisfactory ending,this is an unusual and thrilling tale which fully holds the reader's interest throughout.
