Sinopse
Características

Violet Strange is a one of New Yorks most popular socialites, but she leads an unusual double life. When not attending high-class soirées, she spends her time as a private investigator, delving into the underbelly of New York to solve a variety of mysteries ranging from high-profile theft to a dubious murder-suicide within the aristocracy-without ever revealing her true identity. First published in 1915, The Golden Slipper - And Other Problems for Violet Strange is a riveting tale of mystery and intrigue not to be missed by fans of classic detective fiction. Anna Katharine Green (1846-1935) was an American novelist and poet. Among the first writers of detective fiction in America, she is considered to be the mother of the genre for her legally-accurate and well-thought-out plots. Contents include: The Golden Slipper, The Second Bullet, The Intangible Clew, The Grotto Spectre, The Dreaming Lady, The House of Clocks, The Doctor, His Wife, and the Clock, Missing: Page Thirteen, and Violets Own. Other notable works by this author include: The Leavenworth Case (1878), A Strange Disappearance (1880), and The Circular Study (1900). Read & Co. Classics is proudly republishing this vintage detective novel now in a brand new edition complete with a specially-commissioned new biography of the author.
