The protagonist of the novel is a nurse named Hilda Adams, who becomes involved in the case when she is hired to care for Jennie's young daughter. Hilda is a resourceful and intelligent woman who uses her skills to help the police solve the case. Along the way, she uncovers a web of secrets and lies that lead her closer to the truth.The novel is set in the early 20th century and provides a fascinating glimpse into the social customs and attitudes of the time.

It is a must-read for fans of classic detective fiction.He had not overheard any words, but their voices were quarrelsome, and once he heard a chair or some article of furniture overthrown. Was awakened about two by footsteps on the stairs, followed by the sound of oars in the lower hall. He told his story plainly and simply. Under cross-examination admitted that he was fond of detective stories and had tried to write one himself; that he had said at the store that he would like to see that conceited ass swing, referring to the prisoner; that he had sent flowers to Jennie Brice at the theater, and had made a few advances to her, without success.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
