The Chase Of The Golden Plate is a mystery novel written by Jacques Futrelle. The story revolves around the theft of a valuable golden plate from a museum in New York City. The plate is said to be cursed and whoever possesses it will suffer misfortune. The police suspect a notorious thief named Felix Gryde, but he denies any involvement in the theft. The protagonist of the story is a detective named Craig Kennedy, who is called upon to solve the case. Along with his friend and journalist, Walter Jameson, Kennedy sets out to uncover the truth behind the theft. They follow a trail of clues that leads them to Europe, where they encounter a cast of colorful characters, including a beautiful but mysterious woman and a group of criminals who will stop at nothing to get their hands on the golden plate. As the chase heats up, Kennedy and Jameson must use all their skills and ingenuity to catch the thief and recover the stolen treasure. The Chase Of The Golden Plate is a thrilling and suspenseful novel that will keep readers on the edge of their seats until the very end.He struggled to his feet.

Then he began to say things, expressive things, burning things from the depths of an impassioned soul. The treasure had gone--disappeared into the shadows. The Girl was gone. He called, there was no answer. He drew his revolver fiercely, as if to fire it; then reconsidered and flung it down angrily.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
