THE MYSTERY OF THE PATR1CIAN
CLUB. BY Albert j. Vandam. author
OF IAN Enelishman in Paris Phiia-
delphia: J. b. Lippincott Company.
1884.
This is London murder mystery. but
the story carries the reader to rural
England and the Continent both. The
guilty person is a lord, and his pursuer,
the detective, is n man who was a lieu
tenant in the army. but whom the lord
caused TO be disgraced and removed for
cheating at cards. a crime Of which the
lieutenant was innocent. We have found
the story interesting. and while the plot
Is not a particularly novel one, tho de-
nouement so so far as 1t effects the lord
and the lieutenant is surprising and
tragic in the highest degree.
