Between what matters and what seems to matter, how should the world we know judge wisely? When the scheming, indomitable brain of Sigsbee Manderson was scattered by a shot from an unknown hand, that world lost nothing worth a single tear; it gained something memorable in a harsh reminder of the vanity of such wealth as this dead man had piled up-without making one loyal friend to mourn him, without doing an act that could help his memory to the least honor. But when the news of his end came, it seemed to those living in the great vortices of business as if the earth, too, shuddered under a blow. In all the lurid commercial history of his country there had been no figure that had so imposed itself upon the mind of the trading world. He had a niche apart in its temples.

When the Wall Street giant Sigsbee Manderson is found dead, the local newspaper sends in Philip Trent, its favorite contract journalist/amateur detective, to investigate and report on the case. Trent encounters a paucity of facts on the ground, but the ones he does find leads him to a conclusion he’s unsure of how to handle. E. C. Bentley was a close friend of G. K. Chesterton, to whom he dedicated this book (in response to Chesterton’s dedicating The Man Who Was Thursday to him). The book is said to have been one of the first “modern” mysteries, and included Dorothy Sayers and Agatha Christie among its fans. This book is part of the Standard Ebooks project, which produces free public domain ebooks.
