About this ebook

A master of detective fiction, Jacques Futrelle was regarded as the ‘American Conan Doyle’, before his untimely death aboard the Titanic in 1912. His most enduring creation is Professor Van Dusen, ‘The Thinking Machine’ — an abrasive, but brilliant scientist, who applies rigorous logic or ratiocination to solve crimes and seemingly impossible mysteries. For the first time in publishing history, this eBook presents Futrelle’s complete works, with numerous illustrations, rare texts and informative introductions. (Version 1)
