The Diamond Cross Mystery by Chester K. Steele Pdf

Chester K. Steele was a pseudonym of the Stratemeyer Syndicate, founded by Edwin Stratemayer. He wrote eleven Horatio Alger titles, and went on to produce series including The Rover Boys, The Bobsey Twins, and Tom Swift, hiring ghost writers to produce the books under specific pen names. The Diamond Cross Mystery is a one of a series intended for an older audience than the children's books Stratemeyer normally produced. It features the reluctant detective Colonel Ashley and his Negro servant Shag. Only the first, The Mansion of Mystery, was written by Stratemeyer. In The Diamond Cross Mystery, Colonel Ashley must solve the murder of the proprietor of a jewelry store. The Colonel would prefer to be fishing, but crimes have a way of interrupting his reading of Walton's Complete Angler,

The Diamond Cross Mystery by Chester K Steele Pdf

Book Excerpt: , shiny, drizzle-swept street."Only Sallie Page, the cook. I'll call her. There's Mrs. Darcy's maid--Jane Metson. But she went away yesterday afternoon and won't be back until about noon. It's past time Sallie was down to get breakfast. I'll call her--"Darcy made a move as though to go to the rear of the store, whence a side door gave entrance to the stairs leading to the rooms above."I'll go with you," said Mulligan, and he shoved himself to an erect posture by forcing his elbows against the showcase on which he had been leaning in a manner to give himself as much rest as possible without sitting down--it was a way he had, acquired from long patrolling of city streets."You--you'll go with me?" faltered Darcy."Yes, to call the cook.

The Diamond Cross Mystery Being a Somewhat Different Detective Story (Classic Reprint) by Chester K. Steele Pdf

Excerpt from The Diamond Cross Mystery Being a Somewhat Different Detective Story T here was only one sound which broke the intense stillness of the jewelry shop on that fate ful April morning. That sound was the ticking of. The watch in the hand of the dead woman. Outside, the rain was falling. Not a heavy downpour which splashed cheerfully on umbrellas and formed swollen streams in the gutters, whence they rushed toward the sewer basins, carrying with them an accumulation of sticks, leaves and dirt. Not a windy, gusty rain, that made a man glad to get indoors near a genial fire, with his pipe and a book.
