TWELFTH EDITION
By A. Maynard Barbour
THAT MAINWARING AFFAIR
ILLUSTRATED BY E. PLAISTED ABBOTT
12mo. Cloth, $1.50
"Possibly in a detective story the main object is to thrill. If so, 'That Mainwaring Affair' is all right. The thrill is there, full measure, pressed down and running over."—Life, New York
"The book that reminds one of Anna Katherine Green in her palmiest days.... Keeps the reader on the alert, defies the efforts of those who read backward, deserves the applause of all who like mystery."—Town Topics, New York
"The tale is well told, and the intricacies of the plot so adroitly managed that it is impossible to foresee the correct solution of the mysterious case until the final act of the tragedy.... Although vividly told, the literary style is excellent and the story by no means sensational, a fact that raises it above the level of the old-time detective story,"—Brooklyn Daily Eagle
