About this ebook

Annie Cory is a woman in love but also a feisty detective on a mission to solve a peculiar case involving—diamond, murder and of course villains!
Excerpt:
"Confound that upset! I shall be two minutes behind time—I wish I had walked all the way, instead of trusting to the supposed extra speed of a 'bus, when the streets are so slippery that horses cannot keep their feet." Thus soliloquised Harley Riddell, ruefully, as he hurriedly picked his way through the somewhat aggressive conglomeration of wagons, hansoms, 'buses and fourwheelers, which threatened to still further belate his arrival at the establishment of his employers, Messrs. Stavanger, Stavanger and Co., diamond merchants, of Hatton Garden..."

Author

Elizabeth Burgoyne Corbett

Elizabeth Burgoyne Corbett (1846-1930) was an English novelist, journalist, and feminist. In addition to her work for the Newcastle Daily Chronicle, Corbett was a popular adventure and detective writer whose work appeared in some of the Victorian era’s leading magazines and periodicals. In response to Mrs Humphrey Ward’s “An Appeal Against Female Suffrage,” published in The Nineteenth Century in 1889, Corbett wrote New Amazonia: A Foretaste of the Future (1889), a feminist utopian novel set in a futuristic Ireland. Despite publishing a dozen novels and two collections of short fiction, Corbett—who was once described by Hearth and Home as a master of the detective novel alongside Arthur Conan Doyle—remains largely unheard of by scholars and readers today.
