The Brown Mask

By Percy James Brebner and J. Percy Brebner

Book Overview

The Brown Mask is a mystery novel written by Percy J. Brebner. The story revolves around the disappearance of a wealthy businessman, Sir Horace Fewbanks, and the subsequent investigation by detective Ronald Standish. Standish is tasked with uncovering the truth behind the disappearance, which leads him to a group of suspects, including Fewbanks' wife, his business partner, and a mysterious woman known as the Brown Mask. As Standish delves deeper into the case, he uncovers a web of deceit and betrayal, and must use all of his skills to solve the mystery before it's too late. The Brown Mask is a classic whodunit filled with twists and turns that will keep readers guessing until the very end.For a few moments the very daring of the leap paralysed the hunters. The man had surely gone to his death, preferring an end of this sort to the one that most surely awaited him if he were captured. They had looked to see horse and rider crash downwards to destruction, or perchance fall backwards to be crushed and maimed past all healing; but when neither of these things happened a cry of astonishment, not unmingled with admiration, burst from a dozen throats.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
