An Amiable Charlatan


"The thing happened so suddenly that I really had very little time to make up my mind what course to adopt under somewhat singular circumstances. I was seated at my favorite table against the wall on the right-hand side in Stephano’s restaurant, with a newspaper propped up before me, a glass of hock by my side, and a portion of the plat du jour, which happened to be chicken en casserole, on the plate in front of me.I was, in fact, halfway through dinner when, without a word of warning, a man who seemed to enter with a lightfooted speed that, considering his size, was almost incredible, drew a chair toward him and took the vacant place at my table. My glass of wine and my plate were moved with smooth and marvelous haste to his vicinity. Under cover of the tablecloth a packet— I could not tell what it contained— was thrust into my hand."

The Black Box


Excerpt:“You’re in luck, Alfred,” he declared. “That’s the most interesting man in New York—one of the most interesting in the world. That’s Sanford Quest.”“Who’s he?”“You haven’t heard of Sanford Quest?”“Never in my life.”The young man whose privilege it was to have been born and lived all his days in New York, drank half a glassful of wine and leaned back in his chair. Words, for a few moments, were an impossibility.“Sanford Quest,” he pronounced at last, “is the greatest master in criminology the world has ever known. He is a magician, a scientist, the Pierpont Morgan of his profession.”

The Great Impersonation


Excerpt:The trouble from which great events were to come began when Everard Dominey, who had been fighting his way through the scrub for the last three quarters of an hour towards those thin, spiral wisps of smoke, urged his pony to a last despairing effort and came crashing through the great oleander shrub to pitch forward on his head in the little clearing. It developed the next morning, when he found himself for the first time for many months on the truckle bed, between linen sheets, with a cool, bamboo-twisted roof between him and the relentless sun. He raised himself a little in the bed."Where the mischief am I?" he demanded.

The Vanished Messenger


Excerpt:There were very few people upon Platform Number Twenty-one of Liverpool Street Station at a quarter to nine on the evening of April 2—possibly because the platform in question is one of the most remote and least used in the great terminus. The station-master, however, was there himself, with an inspector in attendance. A dark, thick-set man, wearing a long travelling ulster and a Homburg hat, and carrying in his hand a brown leather dressing-case, across which was painted in black letters the name MR. JOHN P. DUNSTER, was standing a few yards away, smoking a long cigar, and, to all appearance absorbed in studying the advertisements which decorated the grimy wall on the other side of the single track.

The Zeppelin's Passenger


Excerpt:"Never heard a sound," the younger of the afternoon callers admitted, getting rid of his empty cup and leaning forward in his low chair. "No more tea, thank you, Miss Fairclough. Done splendidly, thanks. No, I went to bed last night soon after eleven—the Colonel had been route marching us all off our legs—and I never awoke until reveille this morning. Sleep of the just, and all that sort of thing, but a jolly sell, all the same! You hear anything of it, sir?" he asked, turning to his companion, who was seated a few feet away.

Detektívka Grace


Stephen Pryde je na dne - jeho podnik skrachoval kvôli medzinárodným špekuláciám na burze cenných papierov a zdá sa, že existuje iba jedna možnosť, akou uzavrieť všetky svoje záležitosti. V tejto situácii dostáva výnimočnú ponuku od chladnej Grace Burton, majiteľky detektívnej kancelárie s neobvyklou klientelou. Kto je tajomná Grace a prečo sa rozhodla práve pre neho je iba jednou z mnohých otázok, ktoré sa objavia a dvojica sa čoskoro dostane do víru politických intríg. Britský spisovateľ E.Phillips Oppenheim bol krátko pred prvou svetovou vojnou a v medzivojnovom období považovaný za majstra populárnej literatúry a špionážnych románov. Napísal viac ako sto kníh, z ktorých množstvo bolo sfilmovaných. Román The Amazing Partnership vyšiel v skrátenej forme ako Detektívka Grace po roku 1945. Text bol digitalizovaný z pôvodného vydania a boli v ňom vykonané minimálne úpravy.
