Armchair Fiction presents Mammoth Mystery Double Classics—featuring illustrated editions of two all-time mystery-crime standards, with 440 pages or more of whodunit thrills. “The Window at the White Cat” is our first grisly tale of murder and mayhem, penned by that top of the line mystery writer, Mary Roberts Rinehart. “The White Cat Never Sleeps!” When the beautiful and distressed Margery Flemming walked into his law office, Jack Knox knew he would do anything to impress this attractive woman. The distraught Margery desperately needed to find her missing politician father. Unfortunately, because of her father’s corrupt career, she couldn’t go to police. Knox was her last hope! Although it was a bit out of the realm of his expertise, Jack Knox, attorney-at-law, took on the case. But the mystery got increasingly complicated when Margery’s aunt also turned up missing and her house burglarized. Jack soon found himself out of his league as he fumbled through an investigation full of wrong turns and devious clues, all of which led him to The White Cat, a private social club, notorious for corruption, cover-ups, and possibly…murder! With his hands full, could Jack uncover the whereabouts of Margery’s missing family—all the while trying to win her heart? Or would he become the next victim in an evil conspiracy? The second novel is another Mary Roberts Rinehart thriller, “The Man in Lower Ten,” which is loaded with two sets of original illustrations. It was a train rider to love, hell, and murder! Lawrence Blakely was Washington’s fastest-rising young lawyer. He was a confirmed bachelor and a man seemingly without a care in the world. Then one dark night, in an ordinary Pullman car, Lawrence Blakely suddenly found himself involved with the police, ticketed with a love affair, and trapped on a nightmare express that spilled across the countryside in a deadly train wreck. It was in the tangled, twisted remains of this train that he met the beautiful, haunting Alison West as she wandered away from the wreck that had nearly taken her life. Lawrence Blakely was never again to know peace of mind; for he fell desperately and unequivocally in love—with a woman whose terror-ridden past held the key to a horrifying murder.
