A thrilling story of mystery and imagination. It is an attempt to show how, given immense histrionic genius, a man without principle might use it to the confusion of Society and be responsible for seemingly inexplicable mysteries. The romance deals with modern days in London, and a phase of life hidden largely from Londoners themselves. An astonishing murder opens the way to the story, and the coroner’s inquest introduces to the reader one of the most original characters in modern sensational fiction. From the lodging-houses, clubs, and theatres of the metropolis, the scene changes to London Docks, thence to mid-ocean, and finally to the West Indies. There the mystery of “The Sinews of War,” becomes at last unravelled and a title that will puzzle the reader until the end, is explained.
