The Queen of Night. With Frontispiece by Harold Piffard. Crown 8vo, cloth gilt, 3s. 6d.
No one who is familiar with the work of Mr. Headon Hill will dispute that in "The Queen of Night" is to be found the most skilful and enthralling detective story he has yet done. The idea is absolutely original, and is worked out with breathless interest and unusual power. From first to last it holds the reader's attention.
