Burgess, Gelett: The Master of Mysteries (1912); v1; 5 Jan 2022
Twenty four short stories of occult detective Astro the Seer. The book was published in 1912, without an author's name. However, the introduction contained a discussion of ciphers, and several stories included acrostics; an astute reader could work out that the first letters of all 24 stories gave the author's name; and an even more astute reader could work out that the last letters of all 24 stories contained an author's comment.
The book came with some illistrations, but the artist/s are still in copyright, so their work has been omitted. Introduction 1: Missing John Hudson 2: The Stolen Shakespeare 3: The Macdougal Street Affair 4: The Fanshawe Ghost 5: The Denton Boudoir Mystery 6: The Lorsson Elopement 7: The Calendon Kidnaping Case 8: Miss Dalrymple’s Locket 9: Number Thirteen 10: The Trouble With Tulliver 11: Why Mrs. Burbank Ran Away 12: Mrs. Selwyn’s Emerald 13: The Assassins’ cClub 14: The Luck of the Merringtons 15: The Count’s Comedy 16: Priscilla’s Presents 17: The Heir to Soothoid 18: The Two Miss Mannings 19: Van Asten’s Visitor 20: The Middlebury Murder 21: Vengeance of the Pi Rho Nu 22: The Lady in Taupe 23: Mrs. Stellery’s letters 24: Black Light This work is assumed to be in the Life+70 public domain OR the copyright holder has given specific permission for distribution.
