LITERARY REPRISALS.
Nearly three years ago Mr. E. C. Bentley wrote an excellent detective story called Trent's Last Case. We now see amongst the latest literary announcements, Bentley's Conscience, by Paul Trent.
This retaliation prepares us for a whole series of recriminatory works of fiction. Among those shortly to be expected are the following:—
The Delusions of Doyle, by Anthony Hope, and Hope's Hallucinations, by Conan Doyle.
Hewlett's Downfall, by G. K. Chesterton, and Chesterton's Catastrophe, by Maurice Hewlett.
The Curse of Cain, by Marie Corelli, and Marie the Malevolent, by Hall Caine.
Dexter Street, by Compton MacKenzie, and The Meanderings of MacKenzie, by G. S. Street.
