  Popular Novels by Fergus Hume

  THE SECRET PASSAGE

  _The Albany Evening Journal_ says: "Fully as interesting as his formerbooks, and keeps one guessing to the end. The story begins with themurder of an old lady, with no apparent cause for the crime, and inunraveling the mystery the author is very clever in hiding the realcriminal. A pleasing romance runs through the book, which adds to theinterest."

  THE YELLOW HOLLY

  _The Philadelphia Public Ledger_ says: "'The Yellow Holly' outdoes anyof his earlier stories. It is one of those tales that the average readerof fiction of this sort thinks he knows all about after he has read thefirst few chapters. Those who have become admirers of Mr. Hume cannotafford to miss 'The Yellow Holly.'"

  A COIN OF EDWARD VII.

  _The Philadelphia Item_ says: "This book is quite up to the level of thehigh standard which Mr. Hume has set for himself in 'The Mystery of aHansom Cab' and 'The Rainbow Feather.' It is a brilliant, stirringadventure, showing the author's prodigious inventiveness, his well ofimagination never running dry."

  THE PAGAN'S CUP

  _The Nashville American_ says: "The plot is intricate with mystery andprobability neatly dovetailed and the solution is a series of surprisesskillfully retarded to whet the interest of the reader. It isexcellently written and the denouement so skillfully concealed thatone's interest and curiosity are kept on edge till the very last. Itwill certainly be a popular book with a very large class of readers."

  THE MANDARIN'S FAN

  _The Nashville American_ says: "The book is most attractive andthoroughly novel in plot and construction. The mystery of the curiousfan, and its being the key to such wealth and power is decidedlyoriginal and unique. Nearly every character in the book seems possibleof accusation. It is just the sort of plot in which Hume is at his best.It is a complex tangle, full of splendid climaxes. Few authors have acharm equal to that of Mr. Hume's mystery tales."
