Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - 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.

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.
