Popular Novels by Fergus Hume

THE SECRET PASSAGE

The Albany Evening Journal says: "Fully as interesting as his formerbooks, and keeps one guessing to the end. The story begins with the murderof an old lady, with no apparent cause for the crime, and in unraveling themystery the author is very clever in hiding the real criminal. A pleasing romanceruns through the book, which adds to the interest."

THE PAGAN'S CUP

The Nashville American says: "The plot is intricate with mystery and probabilityneatly dovetailed and the solution is a series of surprises skillfully retarded towhet the interest of the reader. It is excellently written and the denouement soskillfully concealed that one's interest and curiosity are kept on edge till the verylast.

THE MANDARIN'S FAN

The Nashville American says: "The book is most attractive and thoroughlynovel in plot and construction. The mystery of the curious fan, and its being thekey to such wealth and power is decidedly original and unique. Nearly everycharacter in the book seems possible of accusation. It is just the sort of plot inwhich Hume is at his best. It is a complex tangle, full of splendid climaxes. Fewauthors have a charm equal to that of Mr. Hume's mystery tales."
