Book excerpt: A Prince of Swindlers is the story of one intelligent, fearless, and clever scoundrel who keeps an entire city in terror. He is an ingenious thief and a master of disguise who has conned all of London. The thief executes a series of plans that involve him stealing a diamond necklace, arranging the theft of a horse, stealing some wedding gifts, misleading the profits of a charity campaign, and swimming off with a visiting royal's most refined gold plate. He uses several schemes to fool the English upper class and comes away with millions. It's a story of how an unexpected encounter between a conman and a British diplomat led to a series of adventures. It's interesting and fun to read how he plans out his complex plans and always manages to execute them. The gentleman thief is a fascinating character who often recaps his plans to the reader in dialogue. This gave him a humorous villain quality that adds to the story's charm. Much of the humor depicts his personality wonderfully. It's a mind-blowing story that will meet any reader's need for thrills.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The night was close and muggy, such a night, indeed, as only Calcutta, of all the great cities of the East, can produce. The reek of the native quarter, that sickly, penetrating odour which, once smelt, is never forgotten, filled the streets and even invaded the sacred precincts of Government House, where a man of gentlemanly appearance, but sadly deformed, was engaged in bidding Her Majesty the Queen of England's representative in India an almost affectionate farewell."You will not forget your promise to acquaint us with your arrival in London," said His Excellency as he shook his guest by the hand. "We shall be delighted to see you, and if we can make your stay pleasurable as well as profitable to you, you may be sure we shall endeavour to do so.""Your lordship is most hospitable, and I think I may safely promise that I will avail myself of your kindness," replied the other."In the meantime 'good-bye, ' and a pleasant voyage to you."A few minutes later he had passed the sentry, and was making his way along the Maidan to the point where the Chitpore Road crosses it. Here he stopped and appeared to deliberate. He smiled a little sardonically as the recollection of the evening's entertainment crossed his mind, and, as if he feared he might forget something connected with it, when he reached a lamp-post, took a note-book from his pocket and made an entry in it.

Book excerpt: To the reflective mind the rapidity with which the inhabitants of the world's greatest cityseize upon a new name or idea, and familiarise themselves with it, can scarcely proveotherwise than astonishing. As an illustration of my meaning let me take the case ofKlimo-the now famous private detective, who has won for himself the right to beconsidered as great as Lecocq, or even the late lamented Sherlock Holmes.Up to a certain morning London had never even heard his name, nor had it the remotestnotion as to who or what he might be. It was as sublimely ignorant and careless on thesubject as the inhabitants of Kamtchatka or Peru. Within twenty-four hours, however, thewhole aspect of the case was changed. The man, woman, or child who had not seen hisposters, or heard his name, was counted an ignoramus unworthy of intercourse withhuman beings.Princes became familiar with it as their trains bore them to Windsor to luncheon with theQueen; the nobility noticed and commented upon it as they drove about the town;merchants, and business men generally, read it as they made their ways by omnibus orunderground, to their various shops and counting-houses; street boys called each other byit as a nickname; music hall artistes introduced it into their patter, while it was evenrumoured that the Stock Exchange itself had paused in the full flood tide of business tomanufacture a riddle on the subject.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates the development of crime fiction in the 1880s and 1890s, challenging studies of late-Victorian crime fiction which have given undue prominence to a handful of key figures and have offered an over-simplified analytical framework, thereby overlooking the generic, moral, and formal complexities of the nascent genre.
