“MR. FORTUNE” has long since established himself as one of the brightest stars in the galaxy of modern crime detectives. He works on the friendliest terms with Scotland Yard, but his methods—and incidentally his manners—are peculiarly his own. Here we have a series of the most widely divergent mysteries successively solved by a bland, imperturbable middle-aged gentleman whose sole concern in life appears to be that he shall not miss his lunch or any other comfort that is due to him. No one who has read other “Mr. Fortune” volumes will on any account miss this, while those who have yet to make the dear man’s acquaintance are to be envied for the joy that awaits them.
Other popular volumes by Mr. H. C. Bailey:
| Call Mr. Fortune | Mr. Fortune’s Trials |
| Mr. Fortune, Please | Karl of Erbach |
| Mr. Fortune’s Practice | The Master of Gray |
| Mr. Fortune Speaking | My Lady of Orange, etc. |
| ⁂ | Mr. H. C. Bailey is not only a master in the realm of historic romance, but in that of the mystery story as well: in fact, he is easily one of the best and most logical of all the many writers of the detective story to-day. |
The Subway
Mystery
By
Ben Bolt
ONE would think it impossible for anybody to walk down into the crowded new Piccadilly Circus Tube Station and there be swiftly murdered without immediate discovery of the assassin. But from the slenderest of clues the whole failure of a great vengeance is discovered, and Mr. Ben Bolt has provided in his new story a series of situations and adventures that would keep the sleepiest reader agog for the end.
