The Lonely House. New York: George H. Doran Co., (1920).
First Edition. Uncommon mystery title by the author of The Lodger. From a contemporary review: "We enjoy watching Hercules Popeau upon whose unobtrusive strength the story hinges. Gazing fixedly upon the chameleon like Countess, a master mind exerting almost hypnotic influence upon her husband. For all the dashing charm of Beppo, we are unable to find in him sufficient charm to instigate his mother's crimes. Lily whose happiness is to be sacrificed for him is real enough. The delights of Monte Carlo are real and still more so is the gloom of the uncanny old house, La Solitude. It is consistent that Lily should have her strange dream warning as she enters the land of the evil eye where all which may be imagined may also be possible." Very Good, hint of cracking at front inner hinge, in Good dustjacket, two inch chip at lower spine end, some shallow edge chips and wear, modest soiling to panels.
