And probably you also read the account of how two mysterious Englishmen named Reckitt and Forbes, who had been arrested in Paris, had, somehow, prior to their extradition to England, managed to obtain possession of blades of safety-razors, and with them had both committed suicide.
In consequence of this there was no trial of the perpetrators of those brutal crimes in Porchester Terrace.
The whole affair was but a nine days’ horror, and as the authorities saw that no good could accrue from alarming the public by further publicity or inquiry, it was quickly “Hushed up.”

“THE MASTER OF MYSTERY”
WILLIAM LE QUEUX’S NOVELS
Opinions in 1911
“Mr. William Le Queux retains his position as ‘The Master of Mystery.’ ... He is far too skilful to allow pause for thought: he whirls his readers from incident to incident, holding their attention from the first page to the close of the book.”—Pall Mall Gazette.
