A GREAT FRENCH DETECTIVE’S ADVENTURES.
The Triumphs of Eugene Valmont.
By Robert Barr, author of “The Midst of Alarms,” etc. Illustrated. $1.50.
“The most marvellous series of detective adventures written in many a day.”—St. Louis Republic.
“Much more ingenious than the Sherlock Holmes tales.”—New York Sun.
“Ingenious and amusing.”—Outlook.
“Detective adventures and good ones, too, with the addition of an element usually lacking in such stories—humor.”—Kansas City Star.
“In many respects far superior in ingenuity and vigor to any one of the many adventures of Sherlock Holmes.”—Boston Transcript.
“Valmont is a detective of an entirely new stripe, for he doesn’t pose as omnipotent, and he tells of his failures quite as placidly as of his great triumphs. One gets to like him immensely before the book is half over.”—Cleveland Leader.
