At the Villa Rose - Delitto a Villa Rose by Alfred Edward Woodley Mason	Voglioleggere	Fiction, Detective and mystery stories, Crime, Inspector Gabriel Hanaud series, First book, 'It was Mr. Ricardo’s habit as soon as the second week of August came round to travel to Aix-les-Bains, in Savoy, where for five or six weeks he lived pleasantly. He pretended to take the waters in the morning, he went for a ride in his motor-car in the afternoon, he dined at the Cercle in the evening, and spent an hour or two afterwards in the baccarat-rooms at the Villa des Fleurs. An enviable, smooth life without a doubt, and it is certain that his acquaintances envied him. At the same time, however, they laughed at him and, alas with some justice; for he was an exaggerated person. He was to be construed in the comparative. Everything in his life was a trifle overdone, from the fastidious arrangement of his neckties to the feminine nicety of his little dinner-parties'; First published, under the title: 'At the Villa Rose', by Hodder & Stoughton, London, 1910, 311 pp.; by Charles Scribner's Sons, New York, 1910; Film version: 'At the Villa Rose', 1920, Stoll Film Company, directed by Maurice Elvey, starring: Teddy Arundell (Inspector Hanaud); Eva Westlake (M.me Dauvray); J.L.

The Four Just Men - I quattro giusti by Edgar Wallace	Voglioleggere	Fiction, Thriller, Mystery, The four just men kill people in the name of Justice, 'If you leave the Plaza del Mina, go down the narrow street, where, from ten till four, the big flag of the United States Consulate hangs lazily; through the square on which the Hotel de la France fronts, round by the Church of Our Lady, and along the clean, narrow thoroughfare that is the High Street of Cadiz, you will come to the Café of the Nations. At five o'clock there will be few people in the broad, pillared saloon, and usually the little round tables that obstruct the sidewalk before its doors are untenanted. In the late summer (in the year of the famine) four men sat about one table and talked business. Leon Gonsalez was one, Poiccart was another, George Manfred was a notable third, and one, Thery, or Saimont, was the fourth. Of this quartet, only Thery requires no introduction to the student of contemporary history. In the Bureau of Public Affairs you will find his record. As Thery, alias Saimont, he is registered. You may, if you are inquisitive, and have the necessary permission, inspect his photograph taken in eighteen positions — with his hands across his broad chest, full faced, with a three-days' growth of beard, profile, with — but why enumerate the whole eighteen? There are also photographs of his ears — and very ugly, bat-shaped cars they are — and a long and comprehensive story of his life'; First published, under the title: 'The Four Just Men', by Tallis Press, London, November, 1905, 224 pp.; by Tallis Press, 1906, with an additional chapter XII, the solution to the mystery, First US edition, Small, Maynard & Company, Boston, 1920, 310 pp., First Italian edition, under the title: 'I quattro uomini giusti', Bietti, Milano, 1932, 230 pp.; Film version: The Four Just Men, Stoll Film Company, UK, 1921, directed by George Ridgwell, starring: Cecil Humphreys (Manfred), Owen Roughwood (Poiccart), Teddy Arundell (Sir Philip Ramon), George Bellamy (Gonzalez), Charles Tilson-Chowne (Inspector Falmouth), Charles Crocker-King (Thery), Robert Vallis (Billy Marks); The Four Just Men, 1939, directed by Walter Forde, starring: Hugh Sinclair, Griffith Jones, Francis L.
