The Darrow Enigma (Illustrated)

A baffling detective story with an astounding dénouement, which keeps the reader on the alert. "The Darrow Enigma," first published more than 100 years ago, ran through many editions and is now revived, not only on account of its popularity, but because it possesses that rare thing among detective stories—an original plot, which will mystify even the most wary.

The crime which was left for the friends of John Darrow to solve is so novel and inexplicable as well, to deserve the name of enigma. From the minute the crime was enacted to the astounding finish, the mystery is sustained and interest grows. "The Darrow Enigma" possesses the somewhat rare merit among detective stories of having a new and thoroughly interesting plot and stands up well -- even today!
