Synopsis

""The Romance of Elaine"" is a novel written by Arthur B. Reeve. It follows the story of Elaine Dodge, a young woman who becomes entangled in a dangerous mystery involving a criminal mastermind known only as ""The Clutching Hand."" With the help of her fianc�����, Craig Kennedy, a brilliant scientist and detective, Elaine sets out to uncover the identity of the elusive villain and put an end to his nefarious schemes. Along the way, the couple must navigate a web of deceit, danger, and intrigue, as they race against time to solve the case before it's too late. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century America, ""The Romance of Elaine"" is a thrilling adventure that combines elements of romance, mystery, and suspense to create a compelling and unforgettable tale.It was no use, however. They had to cut short the ride, and Kennedy returned to the house, glad to drop down in an easy chair on the porch, while Elaine hovered about him solicitously. His head buzzed, his skin was hot and dry, his eyes had an unnatural look. Every now and then he would place his hand to his ear as though he felt some pain.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This early work by Arthur Benjamin Reeve was originally published in 1916 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. 'The Romance of Elaine' is the sequel to 'Exploits of Elaine' still featuring Professor Craig Kennedy who is sometimes compared to as “The American Sherlock Holmes” due to his astounding ability at crime solving and his Watson-like sidekick Walter Jameson. Arthur Benjamin Reeve was born on 15th October 1880 in New York, Usa. Reeve received his University education at Princeton and upon graduating enrolled at the New York Law School. However, his career was not destined to be in the field of Law. Between 1910 and 1918 he produced 82 short stories for Cosmopolitan. 'The Exploits of Elaine' was Reeves first screenplay, and by the end of the decade, his film career was at its peak with his name appearing on seven films, most of them serials and three of them starring Harry Houdini. Reeves died on 9th August 1936, a few years after moving to Trenton.
