Description
Davis was a war correspondent, a friend of Teddy Roosevelt, and the man credited with popularizing the clean-shaven look at the turn of the former century. His novel is a set of loosely connected mystery stories set in a London’s men’s club. Based on the accompanying publisher’s flyer, there was an obvious attempt to cash in on the popularity of Sherlock Holmes. This copy is inscribed by the author to his doctor. Queen’s Quorum no. 29.
