Bassett I first saw this on a list of "great mystery novels" by a fan who's particularly knowledgeable about very early detective fiction. One of the great things about the ebook revolution is that titles like this, which in earlier years would've been almost impossible to find, are now free and easily available to anyone with a Kindle.This is an attempt to write a big classic detective novel, and it mostly works. There is an eccentric detective, a crime, suspects and deduction. There is also the requisite melodrama from this era, with a damsel in distress, a somewhat thick hero, a sneering villain and a devilish plan. Still, Moffett rings some interesting and very current changes with this device -- the notion, for instance, that the villain is protected by the top men in government, or the notion that the villain and the hero share a kind of spiritual bond. Clearly there is nothing new under the sun.A man is shot in a private room of an elite French restaurant. At first it looks like suicide, but France's greatest detective is sure it's not, it's murder, and committed by a Great Villain, the man to whom he should finally match his wits.There were parts of this where I was absolutely sure I was reading a classic. The first extended bit of detection, for instance, or the first fight scene, are as good as it got in the genre at that time, and far better than some more heralded titles. Unfortunately there are parts of this that are very dated (a lot of the melodrama is over the top, even for this time) and, like many books of this era, Moffett wasn't quite sure how to keep the suspense going at the 3/4 mark. On the other hand, allowing for the treacle, there are some great moments even in the second half of the book, particularly where the villain and hero talk.Instead of a classic I would call this a near-miss -- it's weaknesses are too noticeable to be overlooked, but the good stuff here is extremely good indeed. It certainly bears rediscovery, this is easily the equal of most of Edgar Wallace's stuff, for instance, and Wallace was never as ambitious as Moffett.

If you keep mind the culture when this book is written, the book is a great mystery read. I am going to read more of Moffett's books due to the fact I loved this book.In some part,s just like on TV today, you know somehow the hero wins but it was fun going from defeat to the ultimate victory.If you like reading mysteries for the fun of it. You should read this one.

Surprisingly absorbing adventure By Khirul I do not usually like the perfect master detective and perfect master villain genre, nor the mystical intervention genre. But the writing here is strong enough to carry you on through the twists and turns of plot, despite these objections.
