Five Millions By Wireless is a mystery novel written by Jacques Futrelle. The story revolves around the theft of five million dollars in bonds from a wealthy businessman, John Minute. The crime is committed through a wireless telegraph system, which makes it difficult for the police to track down the culprits. The investigation is led by detective Austin Ford, who uses his wit and intelligence to unravel the complex web of clues and suspects. Along the way, he encounters a range of characters, including Minute's beautiful daughter, a cunning thief, and a mysterious wireless operator. As the investigation progresses, Ford must navigate a series of twists and turns to uncover the truth behind the theft. The novel is full of suspense and intrigue, with a fast-paced plot that keeps readers on the edge of their seats until the very end.There isn't much to tell. There was bewilderment, deep concern, grief even, in the bronzed face. The officer's bed had been occupied, but there was no sign of a struggle. It was as if he had arisen, dressed, and gone out. There was no note, no shred or fragment of a clew-nothing. No one saw him from the moment he entered his stateroom and closed his door-not even the guard. There were half a dozen sentries, watchmen, on deck; neither saw nor heard anything out of the ordinary. He isn't aboard ship; we have searched from keel to signal yard; and he didn't go overside in a ship's boat; they are all accounted for.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
