The Master Criminal Annotated

By: White, Fred Merrick

A collection of 12 stories published serially in The Floodgate, London, Jun 1897 to May 1898, in which the criminal mastermind, Felix Grade, conducts his nefarious criminal work -- theft, kidnapping, ransom, assassination, fraud -- and he never gets caught. The author's introduction: ""The history of famous detectives, imaginary and otherwise, has frequently been written, but the history of a famous criminal-never. ""This is a bold statement, but a true one all the same. The most notorious of rascals know that sooner or later they will be found out, and therefore they plan their lives accordingly. But they are always found out in the end. And yet there must be many colossal rascals who have lived and died apparently in the dour of sanctity. Such a character would be quite new to fiction, and herein I propose to attempt the history of the Sherlock Holmes of malefactors.
