Very rare book, an early American female detective, who appeared only in these five stories, illustrated by stills from a silent movie.
The author (1884-1934) was mostly a screenwriter for the silent movies, and I think it shows in his writing style, which leans to melodrama, the very essence of the silent movies.
The stories:
1. The Man with Nine Lives
2. The Missing Bridegroom
3. Cinderella's Slipper
4. The Bullet from Nowhere
5. The Purple Thumb
The first story is a novelette of some 20,000 words.
