Nothing is the same after Countess Lalage moves in. She is a lovely woman with an enviable reputation and standing, but there is a strange mystery surrounding her. There is also a shadow of a great crime on her house. While it may sound hysterical, those who knew her found it impossible to ignore.
A propos de l’auteur
Frederick Merrick White (1859-1935) wrote a number of novels and short stories under the name ‘Fred M. White’ including the six ‘Doom of London’ science-fiction stories, in which various catastrophes beset London. These include The Four Days’ Night (1903), in which London is beset by a massive killer smog; The Dust of Death (1903), in which diphtheria infects the city, spreading from refuse tips and sewers; and The Four White Days (1903), in which a sudden and deep winter paralyses the city under snow and ice. These six stories all first appeared in Pearson’s Magazine, and were illustrated by Warwick Goble. He was also a pioneer of the spy story, and in 2003, his series The Romance of the Secret Service Fund (written in 1899) was edited by Douglas G. Greene and published by Battered Silicon Dispatch Box.
