rEWER \ "Cleek is a wonder — even more 

 /andbetterV 



I so than the irrepressible Sherlock 

 Holmes." — Brooklyn Citizen 



Cleek of Scotland Yard 



By THOMAS W. HANSHEW 



A new detective story in which Cleek fights 

 with his old-time enemies, the Apaches of Paris, 

 solves a mystery in Maurevania, yet shows 

 himself human withal in his romance with the 

 beautiful Ailsa. 



Some Press Opinions: 



There is freshness and virility about this detective story 

 that will carry with it a strong appeal to every lover of such 

 adventurous stories. Cleek is seemingly a real man, not a 

 creature of shreds and patches who is made to do impossible 

 things by some author who lacks imagination and a sense 

 of proportion. — Portland Evening Telegram. 



There is plenty of invention and the interest is sustained. 

 The writer has invention and audacity. — The Outlook. 



He is original and startling in his methods. The account 

 of his adventures is one of the best among the many detec- 

 tive stories, and hereafter Cleek must be considered when 

 any great mystery is to be solved. — Boston Transcript.
