WILLIAM LE QUEUX'S NOVELS.
"As a recounter of stories of mingled mystery and adventure, Mr.William Le Queux is certainly among the best living writers."--_TheAthenaeum._
"It is interesting that Queen Alexandra is a great reader of novels ofmystery and adventure, and that she is one of Mr. Le Queux's mostardent admirers. Long ago, when his 'Zoraida' was issued, she gave anorder to a well-known Piccadilly bookseller for all Mr. Le Queux'sbooks, past and future, and an early copy of each of that writer'sbooks reaches her."--_The Queen._
"The name of William Le Queux is well known to novel-readers as thatof one who can weave the most wonderful mysteries and elaborate themost thrilling plots that are to be met with in the fiction of to-day.His books are read with the avidity of intense curiosity, for thestring of events described are of the kind that demand attention untilthe end is reached and everything made clear."--_Literary World._
"Mr. William Le Queux's name is favourably known to all readers ofsensational fiction. He elaborates the most wonderful plots, and holdshis reader breathless to the end, for it is only quite at the end thatlight is allowed to break through the entanglement of circumstance, orthe perplexities brought about by the shock of temperament."--_DailyNews._
"Mr. William Le Queux's novels are one of my chief foibles. I canalways read his stories greedily, and 'Free Lancers' should buy hisbooks."--Mr. CLEMENT SCOTT in the _Free Lance._
