Description: New York, Harper 1906. Octavo, excellent in publisher's illustrated blue cloth blocked in black and white (a small surface blemish to the varnish over the white); illustrations. ¶ First edition. Starring the amateur super sleuth Ledroit Conners, who never really took off. Carolyn Wells ('Technique of the Mystery Story'; 1913) helps explain this when she uses Conners as an example of a poor choice of name for a detective.
