The Big Bow Mystery-
One of the earliest "locked room" mysteries. All of the clues are in the story -- but you'll be surpised by the ending!
Without Prejudice-
This book is a selection, slightly revised, from my miscellaneous work during the last four or five years, and the title is that under which the bulk of it has appeared, month by month, in the Pall Mall Magazine.
Dreamers of the Ghetto-
This is a Chronicle of Dreamers, who have arisen in the Ghetto from its establishment in the sixteenth century to its slow breaking-up in our own day.
