  • "A case of mistaken identity ignites this clever mystery from America’s queen of crime A happy bachelor in Washington, DC, Lawrence “Lollie” Blakeley is just the right age to dance with the grown-up little sisters of the girls he used to know. He is without sentiment—so he claims—but is ruled and frequently routed by his elderly housekeeper. All he really wants is to relax with a round of golf and a trip out on the yacht. But when his law partner asks him to deliver important legal documents to a client in Pittsburgh, Lollie finds his cheerful life tremendously disturbed. In the course of one overnight trip, he ends up in the wrong berth, falls in love, and is accused of murder. The Man in Lower Ten was the first detective novel to appear on national bestseller lists and is just as deliciously thrilling today as when it was published more than a century ago. This ebook features a new introduction by Otto Penzler and has been professionally proofread to ensure accuracy and readability on all devices."@en

It has all the thrills of a contemporary whodunit and a satiric edge that gently mocks the conventions of male detective fiction."@en
