that his plot lacks that originality and invention which we
have come to expect front him. It is the story of a man who, while a millionaire, lost his only &did through ill-treat meat suffered at the hands of a gang of kidnappers, and whose sole aim in life is consequently to exterminate each and every member of the gang. His escape from prison after receiving a life-sentence, and his subsequent search for and method of dealing with his enemies, is related in Mr. Wren's customary engrossing style, and we are once again bound to admire the author's skill in depicting a very charming and lovable heroine. Though it is possible that he fails in this story to reach the exceptionally high standard which he has set himself with his previous publications, the book still remains one which we can confidently recommend to any who have not yet had the good fortune to enjoy one of the products of Mr. Wren's inventive genius.
