Beschreibung

Hugh Gabriel has recently been repatriated from the war and has rejoined his old firm as an electrical engineer. On the way to visit his uncle one night, he is asked by a servant if he would be willing to meet with his wealthy master who is in some distress. Hugh becomes witness to, and directly involved with, a dastardly murder. Or has he? Who is this mysterious millionaire Oswald De Gex he has been asked to meet with? Is Doctor Moroni an honest physician or a diabolical monster? And what about the fair Gabrielle - but then, is there more than one Gabrielle? Le Queux, the Master of Mystery once again weaves an intricate plot which takes Hugh Gabriel to locations throughout Europe as he tries to unravel a scheme that he does not understand, nor why he is involved.

Autor

William Tufnell Le Queux was an Anglo-French journalist, writer, diplomat, traveller, and aviation enthusiast. Born in London on 2 July 1864, he became known for his prolific output of novels and short stories, particularly in the genres of mystery, espionage, and adventure. His career as a journalist gave him opportunities to travel widely, and his experiences informed much of his fictional work. Le Queux held a deep interest in technology and progress, and his fascination with aviation led him to officiate at the first British air meeting held at Doncaster in 1909. He also demonstrated a keen interest in wireless communication, reflecting his broader enthusiasm for innovations that shaped the modern age. Beyond his literary achievements, Le Queux was involved in diplomatic circles, drawing on his international connections in both his real and fictional pursuits. He passed away on 13 October 1927 in Knokke-Heist, Belgium, leaving behind a legacy as a writer who captured the intrigue and uncertainties of his time.
