books by Jacques Futrelle     books:       The Case Of The Scientific Murderer Jacques Futrelle Kessinger Publishing, 2004 Detective Mallory was an able man, the ablest, perhaps, in the bureau of criminal investigation, but a yellow primrose by the river's brim was to him a yellow primrose, nothing more. He lacked imagination, a common fault of that type of sleuth who combines, more or less happily, a number eleven shoe and a number six hat. The only vital thing he had to go on was the fact that Miss Danbury was dead--murdered, in some mysterious, uncanny way. ...             Professor Van Dusen: The Thinking Machine1 review Jacques Futrelle Journeyforth, 2005 Mysteries with logic at its center Can logic solve any problem?

Van Dusen, Ph. ...2 reviews Jacques Futrelle Modern Library, 2003 Edwardian crime stories as recommended by Harlan Ellison This book of short stories with a foreword by the great science fiction writer, Harlan Ellison, is centered on one story, The Problem of Cell 13, which was first published in The Boston American in 1906.

Of all the anthologies of my great-grandfather's work, this is the best. It contains the classic "Problem of Cell 13" as well as some more experimental stories.

While some of the mysteries are predictable by today's standards and others are a little dated, they are a good quick read, and I highly recommend them to mystery ...             The Chase Of The Golden Plate Jacques Futrelle Kessinger Publishing, 2004 He struggled to his feet. His answer was the crackling of a twig to his right. He started in that direction and brought up with a bump against the automobile. He turned, still groping blindly, and embraced a tree with undignified fervour. To his left he heard another slight noise and ran that way. Again he struck an obstacle. Then he began to say things, expressive things, burning things from the depths of an impassioned soul. The treasure had ...             The Diamond Master1 review Jacques Futrelle Kessinger Publishing, LLC, 2007 Rip Off Paperback Book How would you like to pay $70 for a paperback book less than 200 pages? if so, go ahead and buy this pathetic item.
