The Man In Lower Ten [EPUB ebook] 

“Another gripping novel from Classic Detective Presents”…Lawrence Blakely, attorney-at-law, sets off by train to deliver valuable documents in a criminal case. His ride will be eventful. Along the way he’ll encounter romance, treachery, a train wreck, even a murder in which he’ll be implicated. Who’s after Blakely and his papers — why? The first detective novel to appear on national bestseller lists, THE MAN IN LOWER TEN is still a great read almost ninety years after its publication. It has all the thrills of a contemporary whodunit and a satiric edge that gently mocks the conventions of male detective fiction.
