Hello Pulpmeister -

I just wanted to say thank you for all the great stuff you've posted before. I've downloaded all of the Past Masters that I could find. I noticed that with Fifteen, story #4, The Mystery of the Hotel Royal by Heath Crichton, is listed but not included. I like the other three Crichton stories and would like to read the fourth if you have it. Regardless, I'm always eager for anything you might post. You've got great taste in books. I'm learning a lot. Thanks again.

The story was there, just not in my kindle's "GO TO" chapter section. I feel dumb for posting but there you have it.

Must have a look at that! Probably a dodgy link.
