THE VIKING’S SKULL
By JOHN R. CARLING, author of “The Shadow of the Czar,” etc.
Illustrated. 12mo. $1.50
Mr. Carling has written a spirited story of love and adventure, with an ingeniously constructed plot, which tells how Idris Marville, true Earl of Ormsby, recovered a treasure hidden by one of his progenitors,—a Viking of the Ninth Century,—and how he cleared the memory of his father, who had been wrongfully convicted of murder. There are many powerful scenes in the book and abundant love interest. The whole story is exceptionally strong, dramatic, vivid, and interest-compelling. It is a worthy successor to the author’s remarkable and successful novel, “The Shadow of the Czar.”
