DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Hamilton Cleek is a consulting detective and also known as "the man of the forty faces" for his incredible skill at disguise. Cleek is himself a reformed criminal and now helps Inspector Narkom of Scotland Yard in solving crimes in Clarges Street, London. "After due reflection over the question of disguise, Cleek determined for the present to revive that of Lieutenant Deland, and it was as that smart young officer that he once more took up his quarters in Clarges Street, in a house not very far from that which had been wrecked by Margot and her gang of Apaches. That they, too, were on his track was ascertained by Dollops, who traced them down to their lairs of Soho like a bloodhound scenting his quarry . . ." (Excerpt from "Cleek's Government Cases".) Thomas W. Hanshew (1857-1914) was an American author best known for his Hamilton Cleek Detective Series.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Mr. Maverick Narkom, Superintendent at Scotland Yard, flung aside the paper he was reading and wheeled round in his revolving desk-chair, all alert on the instant, like a terrier that scents a rat. Meet Hamilton Cleek: former criminal, lost heir to the throne of a small European country, and now the suave private detective who consults with Scotland Yard. On top of that, he has the remarkable ability to change the features on his face, making him a brilliant undercover operative. "Introducing Hamilton Cleek, the forty-faced, elusive cracksman, in the last of the impudent, highly skillful and distressingly successful raids which have long exasperated London and baffled Scotland Yard. Henceforth Cleek is to make other but equally fascinating use of his genius. Now, however, he is at his old, uncanny tricks, displaying all the marvelous wit and resource which characterize this inimitably versatile hero." -The Pittsburgh Press - Oct 4, 1914

It wasn't until after he'd left that the super he sees a note on the chair where the blighter had been sitting, and when he opened it, there it was in black and white, something like this: "'The list of presents that have been sent for the wedding to-morrow of Sir Horace Wyvern's eldest daughter make interesting reading, particularly that part which describes the jewels sent--no doubt as a tribute to her father's position as the greatest brain specialist in the world--from the Austrian Court and the Continental principalities.
