Shadows. A Series of Side Lights on Modern Society. By Ernest Martin. (Dedicated to Sir Henry Irving.) Crown 8vo, art cloth, gilt tops, 2s.
Western Mercury.—“Clever sketches, intensely dramatic, original and forceful, based on scenes from actual life, and narrated with much skill.”
Weekly Times.—“A series of pictures sketched with considerable power. The last one, ‘Hell in Paradise,’ is terrible in the probable truth of conception.”
Northern Figaro.—“Mr Martin’s descriptive paragraphs are couched in trenchant, convincing language, without a superfluous word sandwiched in anywhere.… ‘Shadows’ may be read with much profit, and will give more than a superficial insight into various phases of society life and manners.”
Death and the Woman. A Powerful Tale. By Arnold Golsworthy. Picture cover drawn by Sydney H. Sime. Crown 8vo, 1s.
Literary World.—“We do not remember having read a book that possessed the quality of grip in a greater degree than is the case with ‘Death and the Woman.’… Every page of every chapter develops the interest, which culminates in one of the most sensational dénouements it has been our lot to read. The flavour of actuality is not destroyed by any incredible incident; it is the inevitable thing that always happens. ‘Death and the Woman’ will supply to the brim the need of those in search of a holding drama of modern London life.”
The Fellow-Passengers. A Mystery and its Solution. A Detective Story. By Rivington Pyke, Author of “The Man who Disappeared.” Long 12mo, cloth, 1s.
Whitehall Review.—“Those who love a mystery with plenty of ‘go,’ and a story which is not devoid of a certain amount of realism, cannot do better than pick up ‘Fellow-Passengers.’ The characters are real men and women, and not the sentimental and artificial puppets to which we have been so long accustomed by our sensationalists. The book is brightly written, and of detective stories it is the best I have read lately.”
That Fascinating Widow, and other Frivolous and Fantastic Tales, for River, Road and Rail. By S. J. Adair Fitz-Gerald. Long 12mo, cloth, 1s.
