Book excerpt: This is a crime thriller novel that revolves around James Lexington Morlake, a gentleman of leisure. He is a burglar and also known as —"The Black"—the terror of every bank manager in the kingdom. Morlake was as great a source of puzzlement to the people of the country as to himself. For two years he had been master of Wold House, and nothing was known of him except that he was a rich man. He most certainly had no friends. Ralph Hamon, an old acquaintance, decides to buy Morlake's house. He threatens to expose Morlake if he refuses to sell his estate and leave the country. He refuses and also threatens to expose Hamon. Morlake is curious about Hamon's wealth. He uses a lot of energy thinking about Hamon, who poses as a big city financier trying to buy the Estate of Lord Carston with the idea that he can get the hand of the lord's daughter, Lady Joan, as part of the bargain. Will Morlake unravel the mystery?
