This classic detective tale follows Hamilton Cleek, the Man of Forty Faces, as he untangles a tangle of danger spanning London’s docks to a Paris convent and a country manor. With a cast of vividly drawn characters—Lady Margaret Brenton, Ailsa Lome, Sir Edgar Brenton, and Miss Wynne—the story blends high-stakes intrigue with sharp wit, quick chases, and clever deductions surrounding the famed Purple Emperor diamond.

• Intricate plotting driven by clues, motives, and unexpected loyalties


• Atmospheric settings that jump between bustling London and quiet, shadowed estates


• Multiple revelations that deepen the mystery without slowing the pace


• A charismatic, problem-solving detective who pieces together the truth

Ideal for readers who enjoy brisk, puzzle-driven adventures with period charm and a touch of danger.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
