The Adventures of Madame Storey - Footner Hulbert
- Volume 8
'She was very tall and supremely graceful. It was impossible to think of legs in connexion with her movements. She floated into the room like a shape wafted on the breeze. She was darkly beautiful in the insolent style that causes plainer women to prim up their lips. . . .' So we are introduced to the fascinating Madame Rosika Storey, fearless and intelligent, who plays cat-and-mouse with killers, goes undercover to break up criminal gangs, and unravels deadly mysteries. Author Hulbert Footner (1879-1944) brought the excitement of the 1920s and 1930s to Madame Storey's cosmopolitan adventures, moving away from Edwardian and Victorian flavors of the mystery genre. Volume 8 includes 'Madame Storey's Gigolo,' 'The Scent of Almonds,' 'Pink-Eye,' 'The Kidnapping of Madame Storey,' 'The Murders in the Hotel Cathay,' 'The Casual Murderer,' and 'The Blind Front.'
