“The author’s clever handling of sensational subjects is again displayed in his new story. The reader’s interest is aroused on the first page by a scene at Victoria Station, and held without a break.”—Bookseller.
The White-Eyed Woman. By Ernest Bowen-Rowlands 1/-
“Is one of the best short sensational stories we have read. The mystery with which it deals is almost an unsolvable puzzle, and the writing is far and above what we have been accustomed to in this sort of book. It is rumoured that a dramatised version will shortly be seen on the London boards, and we are glad of it, for a novel which lends itself better to adaptation to the stage we have never seen.”—Man of the World.
