The Mystery of the Golden Dagger is a thrilling detective novel written by Jacques Futrelle. The story revolves around the mysterious disappearance of a valuable golden dagger from the collection of a wealthy collector, Mr. Arthur Sloane. The dagger is believed to have been stolen during a dinner party hosted by Sloane, where a group of his close friends and acquaintances were present.The prime suspect in the case is a notorious thief named Felix Ganimard, who has a history of stealing valuable artifacts. However, Ganimard denies any involvement in the theft and claims to have been framed by someone else. As the investigation progresses, several other suspects emerge, including Sloane's secretary, his housekeeper, and a mysterious woman who was present at the dinner party.The case becomes even more complicated when a second crime is committed, and a valuable painting is stolen from Sloane's mansion. The police are baffled by the series of events, and it is up to the brilliant detective, Professor Augustus S. F. X. Van Dusen (also known as The Thinking Machine), to solve the mystery and uncover the identity of the real culprit.The Mystery of the Golden Dagger is a classic whodunit that will keep readers on the edge of their seats until the very end. With its intricate plot, well-developed characters, and unexpected twists and turns, this book is a must-read for anyone who loves a good mystery.It was 10 o'clock next day when Hutchinson Hatch and The Thinking Machine called on Dr. Loyd. The medical examiner willingly displayed the golden dagger, and in technical terms explained just what had caused the girl's death. Minus the medical phraseology his opinion was that the wound in the breast had been the first inflicted and that the dagger point had punctured the heart. One of the wounds in the back had also reached the same vital spot; the other wound was superficial.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
