The Marathon Mystery

With five scenes in color by

4th printing. $1.50

This absorbing story of New York and Long Island to-day has been republished in England. Its conclusion is most astonishing.

N.Y. Sun: "Distinctly an interesting story—one of the sort that the reader will not lay down before he goes to bed."

N.Y. Post: "By comparison with the work of Anna Katharine Green it is exceptionally clever told interestingly and well."

N.Y. Tribune: "The Holladay Case was a capital story of crime and mystery. In The Marathon Mystery the author is in even firmer command of the trick. He is skillful in keeping his reader in suspense, and every element in it is cunningly adjusted to preserving the mystery inviolate until the end."

Boston Transcript: "The excellence of its style, Mr. Stevenson apparently knowing well the dramatic effect of fluency and brevity, and the rationality of avoiding false clues and attempts unduly to mystify his readers."

Boston Herald: "This is something more than an ordinary detective story. It thrills you and holds your attention to the end. But besides all this the characters are really well drawn and your interest in the plot is enhanced by interest in the people who play their parts therein."

Town and Country: "The mystery defies solution until the end. The final catastrophe is worked out in a highly dramatic manner"

The Holladay Case

With frontispiece by

7th printing. $1.25

A tale of a modern mystery of New York and Etretat that has been republished in England and Germany.

N Y. Tribune: "Professor Dicey recently said, 'If you like a detective story take care you read a good detective story' This is a good detective story, and it is the better because the part of the hero is not filled by a member of the profession The reader will not want to put the book down until he has reached the last page. Most ingeniously constructed and well written into the bargain."
