This is another classic of golden-age detective fiction featuring Detective Hamilton Cleek who was introduced in „Cleek: The Man of the Forty Faces” first published in 1913. This super sleuth and master of disguise will bedazzle you once more as he ingeniously solves a new case. Without the logical mind and condescending manners of Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes, Hamilton Cleek worms into your heart through your eyes and via your brain. In this tale, Cleek investigates the sinister disappearance of people and the mysterious appearance of flames at night in the desolate Fens, and his friend Superintendent Narkom of Scotland Yard tries to solve some tricky cases of bank robberies in London. Using disguises, clues, and his brain he solves several mysteries in one.
Thomas W. Hanshew (1857–1914) was a prolific American author best known for his creation of the consulting detective Hamilton Cleek, whose adventures captivated readers in the early 20th century. Hanshew's works epitomize the literary transition from Victorian-era detective stories toward the more modern, character-driven crime novels. Born in Brooklyn, New York, Hanshew began his career as an actor before moving to London and turning his talents to writing. His literary output was impressive, spanning across genres, but his legacy chiefly rests upon his contributions to the mystery and detective genre. One of his notable works, 'The Riddle of the Frozen Flame' (1919), exemplifies his knack for combining Sherlockian deduction with mystifying plots that seize the audience's imagination. It is worth noting that although Hanshew passed away before this particular book was published, his wife, Mary E. Hanshew, also an author, collaborated on many of his works and may have contributed significantly to it. The unique mix of suspense, intrigue, and the subtle introduction of supernatural elements in his novels, left a lasting imprint on the detective genre and paved the way for future exploration of psychological complexity within literary crime-solving.
