ASHTON-KIRK is a young man of meansand position. The unusual has a sort offascination for him; his subtle perception,and keen, direct habit of mind cause him to delightin the investigation of those crimes whichhave proved too shadowy for the police.

In “Ashton-Kirk, Investigator,” another bookdealing with his experiences, he was concernedwith the strange case of the murder of the numismatist,Hume. In “Secret Agent,” he was involvedin a crisis between two nations; and agreat war was averted by his skill and readycourage.

In this volume, he is called upon by an ancientfriend who has been plunged into an appalling seriesof circumstances of which he can make nothing,except that all concerned are in immediate anddeadly peril. And it is here shown how thespecial detective’s acute mind, deft manipulationand resourcefulness warded off a terrible danger.
