Series series Gilbert Larose
One evening, just as dark was falling, in a many-windowed room of a long, low building standing within the shelter of a cliff high up on a lonely mountainside, were seated three men. The building was the only structure in that profound solitude, and was so high and so far removed that from the habitations in the village below it required a good pair of binoculars to pick up with any accuracy the ...

The Hangman's Knot

by Arthur Gask ...

Series series Gilbert Larose
Gilbert Larose is again called from retirement to solve a mystery—if anything, a mystery more baffling than those which have made his name in the past. Six murders in seven weeks and Scotland Yard is helpless. The crimes give no clue—not even a similarity of method to connect them. Just the whine of a bullet, the stab of a knife or the crash of a bludgeon, and the murderer has slunk back into the ... Read more

Series series Gilbert Larose
“We may say what we will, Mr. Larose,” remarked the thin scholarly looking man in a rather regretful tone, “but evil in a jeweled setting is less repugnant to the human mind, than when met with in sordid surroundings, and crime among the well-to-do is more intriguing than breaches of the law among the lower classes.”“That is quite true, Mr. Jones,” replied the smiling young man opposite to him. ...

by Arthur Gask ...

His head was big and bullet-shaped and his hair was closely cropped, as if he had just come out of prison. He had dark and deeply sunken eyes, and, as if to hide their expression, he kept them nearly always half closed. ... Read more
