Then she was married, leaving behind her independence for a traditional relationship. When she runs into Dan Wilbur, an old flame, in a shop on Broadway, Susan finds herself reminded of all the men who came before, the broken engagements, disappointments, and near misses that defined her former romantic life.

It was perfect, so far as he could see; perfect in cutting and color and depth, prismatic, radiant, bewilderingly gorgeous. Its value? Even he could not offer an opinion...¿ An expert jeweler, even Harry Latham is forced to admit he has never in his life seen such a diamond. It arrived in an unmarked package with neither message nor return address, a rather casual presentation for such an invaluable object.

With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Jacques Futrelle¿s The Diamond Master is a classic of American detective fiction reimagined for modern readers.

There was bewilderment, deep concern, grief even, in the bronzed face. ""The officer's bed had been occupied, but there was no sign of a struggle. It was as if he had arisen, dressed, and gone out. There was no note, no shred or fragment of a clew-nothing. No one saw him from the moment he entered his stateroom and closed his door-not even the guard. There were half a dozen sentries, watchmen, on deck; neither saw nor heard anything out of the ordinary. He isn't aboard ship; we have searched from keel to signal yard; and he didn't go overside in a ship's boat; they are all accounted for.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
