About this ebook
"The Loot of Cities" is a collection of stories which recounts the adventures of a millionaire who commits crimes to achieve his idealistic ends. In Queen's Quorum, a survey of crime fiction, this book was listed among the 100 most important works in the thriller genre. "Although it was 'one of his least known works,' it was nevertheless 'of unusual interest, both as an example of Arnold Bennett's early work and as an early example of dilettante detectivism'.
