This is in many ways the strongest and most interesting novel as yet written by this popular author. As the title indicates, "My Strangest Case" is a detective story, a new departure in the field of literature for Mr. Boothby. It has to do with buried treasures stolen from the ruined palaces of a forgotten city in China by three adventurers, one of whom tricks his partners and escapes with the hard-won spoils. From the East the scene shifts to London, Paris, and Italy, in the endeavor by the hero (the detective) to track the principal adventurer and restore to the latter's partners their portion of the stolen treasure. The hero proves himself to be a second Sherlock Holmes in acumen and sang-froid; and the story holds one's interest to the last.
