Edition: A. L. Burt Company, New York, 1910. Revised version of The Mystery of 1122 (1909)

The best thing in the book is the description of the political club called the White Cat; that is an invention of genius. The poorest thing is the disappearance of Aunt Jane, which does indeed darken the mystery of the plot, but only by an illegitimate trick on the reader. The author's sense of humor is at times delightful, and, oddly enough, seems not at all out of place in a story of blood and horrors. —The Nation, Oct 1910 {Full review on the Discussion page
