| A collection of seven short stories which showcase Dr Thorndykes's methods of solving seemingly insoluble mysteries: THE BLUE SEQUIN; THE NEW JERSEY SPHINX; THE MAGIC CASKET; THE PATHOLOGIST TO THE RESCUE; THE TOUCHSTONE; PERCIVAL BLAND'S PROXY; THE MISSING MORTGAGEE.
One can't help being amused by Freeman's prose. Sometimes the plots are a little far-fetchedd, as in 'The Pathologist to the Rescue', where a blood sample reveals that a person has filaria nocturna, or elephantiasis).However there is such good humour and fun, in equal measure, that all is forgiven by this reviewer. Furthermore, though the descriptions of London's streets throughout the stories may not be accurate (this reviewer has not been to London to check) they evoke London as one can imagine it would have been in the nineteen-twenties.

| When a prima donna is shot there is likely to be something doing in the detective line. When the shooting is done at Reno, and there are several people who may reasonably be suspected of having had an interest in the crime, or who have been so close to it that, visible interest or not, they can be asked to explain themselves, the detective--especially if he is the celebrated Charlie Chan--is likely to sit up and take notice. So he does; and those who have met this prince of sleuths in some other of his exploits will follow his feat in tracking down his latest quarry with full appreciation.

| Some contemporary reviews of "The Square Emerald":
This new mystery novel is unquestionably a 'winner.' It is indeed one of the best stories he has ever written."--Daily Mail.
"Edgar Wallace is simply the wizard among mystery-mongers."--Daily Graphic
"The plot is so ingenious, mysterious, so subtly unfolded, and his characters in themselves so full of interest, that criticism is silenced until the book has been laid aside. 'The Square Emerald' lacks nothing in variety, and the action progresses with a rapidity that leaves the reader rather breathless."--Scotsman.
"This is by far the best thing Mr. Wallace has done...his talent for invention reveals an exultant vigour as though it had never known effort, and his art of writing achieves perfection. Because the story is so fresh in masterful drama of strange, thrilling experience, and because every detail of its literary construction is so sure and exact, one positively loves reading it."--Dundee Courier.
