The Lady Called Nita

Edgar Wallace

Sinopse

The lady, called by her intimate friends Nita, stopped at the end of the crowded path which leads to the bandstand.
“Mary, I do not think you need come any farther. Take a park chair and wait for me. I may be an hour—I may be longer. If you see me with—with the gentleman, you will not recognise me by a sign.”
“Yes, mademoiselle.”
“If you think I am being followed, then you may warn me. But I do not think that is likely. M. Goucouldis has no idea that—er—the Prince has any entanglements. But if it should be so that I am watched, then very likely his—agents—will try to get into touch with you. In that case you will tell them that I am Mademoiselle Lemair from Paris. That I am the daughter of M. Lemair, the leader of the Popular Party of Sergovia. If your questioner has a fit at this, send for a policeman: I understand that the English police are trained in first aid.”

A Strange Disappearance - A...

Anna Katharine Green

When a young sewing woman named Emily vanishes from the house of Mr. Blake, a wealthy New York bachelor, the circumstances suggest something far more serious than an ordinary disappearance. Her room shows signs of disturbance, the window has been used as a means of escape, and traces of blood point to a mystery that may involve both violence and concealment. 
Detective Q and the celebrated Mr. Gryce are drawn into a case filled with hidden identities, guarded emotions, social secrets, and a household where no one seems willing to tell the whole truth. As the investigation moves through old New York mansions, private rooms, and tangled personal histories, every clue raises a deeper question: who was Emily, and why did she disappear? 
First published in 1880, A Strange Disappearance is an early American detective novel by Anna Katharine Green, one of the pioneering voices of mystery fiction.
