About this book

An elderly, unidentified man is found dead in the small hours in Middle Temple Lane, at the heart of legal London, and a young newspaper sub-editor named Frank Spargo attaches himself to the case out of professional curiosity that soon becomes obsession. The only clue is a scrap of paper bearing a name, and the trail Spargo follows runs back decades into a story of fraud, a stolen identity, and a reputation built on someone else's ruin. J. S. Fletcher tells it with the clipped energy of a newsroom, and the book's American success, helped by President Woodrow Wilson's public praise, made him a household name. First published in 1919, it is his best-known novel. Read it here as a free PDF and EPUB edition.

About the author

J. S. Fletcher

Joseph Smith Fletcher (1863-1935) was an English journalist and one of the most prolific authors of his generation, credited with well over two hundred books. A Yorkshireman who began in poetry and regional history, he turned to detective fiction in his fifties and won a wide readership on both sides of the Atlantic.
