With the help of his assistant, Hutchinson Hatch, Van Dusen sets out to solve the case and bring the murderer to justice.The book is filled with twists and turns, as Van Dusen uses his incredible deductive skills to unravel the mystery.

It is a must-read for fans of the genre, and a great introduction to the works of Jacques Futrelle.Detective Mallory was an able man, the ablest, perhaps, in the bureau of criminal investigation, but a yellow primrose by the river's brim was to him a yellow primrose, nothing more. He lacked imagination, a common fault of that type of sleuth who combines, more or less happily, a number eleven shoe and a number six hat. The only vital thing he had to go on was the fact that Miss Danbury was dead--murdered, in some mysterious, uncanny way. Vampires were something like that, weren't they? He shuddered a little.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
