London, Chatto & Windus 1889. Octavo publisher's illustrated cloth blocked in black and grey (spine faded and a bit rubbed). Publisher's catalogue for October 1888 at the end. Canted but rather good and fresh inside. First edition of this murder mystery set in Paris involving a missing heir, cross dressing villains, a cavalcade of detectives and all manner of complications. Wood's second mystery after The Passenger From Scotland Yard the year before. The Spectator surprises by beginning their review most favourably but are more characteristic by the end: " a really clever novel; its detective elements are good; but the story . has a certain air of incoherency.".
