Diamond Master

This edition binds together two of Jacques Futrelle's Mystery Classics: The Diamond Master & The Chase of the Golden Plate The Diamond Master (1909)

In this tale of murder and extortion, a diamond is delivered to a shop in an unusual package and four others receive similar packages. But who is sending the gems and how is the delivery linked to the mystery? This is an old-fashioned murder mystery story written in the same era as the Sherlock Holmes mysteries.

The Chase of the Golden Plate & A cocaine-snorting Professor nicknamed "The Thinking Machine" is the focus of this high-society tale involving romance, a robbery at a party and long-held grudges.
