THE MARATHON MYSTERY
THE MARATHON MYSTERY
A MYSTERY OF NEW YORK AND ETRETAT
By BURTON E. STEVENSON
With Frontispiece by ELIOT KEEN. 10mo. $1.25
This is one of the new and artistic style of detective stories, somewhat in the vein of Conan Doyle. It is now in its fifth American impression, and has been republished in England. The tale begins with the finding of a New York banker stabbed to death in his office. Suspicion falls on his daughter. A kidnapping and pursuit over seas follow. The story contains a minimum of horror and a maximum of ingenuity.

Critic: "Almost instantly commands the reader^s attention."
Boston Transcript: "Developed with novelty and originality ... may be heartily commended."
Chicago Record-Herald: "Conan Doyle and Anna Katharine Green have a worthy rival in Burton E. Stevenson."

Washington Post: "Extremely clever."
