Summary
A classic American detective novel from 1880 by Anna Katharine Green, widely regarded as the mother of the detective novel. When a young housemaid, Emily, vanishes without a trace from the fashionable Blake residence in New York, detective Mr. Gryce and his eager young assistant are called to investigate. The household is silent, the police are baffled, and the only clue is a handful of golden hairs found in her comb. As the case unfolds, the trail leads from the elegant drawing rooms of Fifth Avenue to the squalid back alleys of the German quarter, unearthing a secret marriage, a desperate abduction, and a family crime that two ruthless brothers will kill to keep hidden. A taut, suspenseful whodunit of hidden identities, forbidden love, and a strange disappearance that must be explained.
