The master of mysteries : being an account of the problems solved by Astro, Seer of Secrets, and his love affair with Valeska Wynne, his assistant / Gelett Burgess ; edited, with an introduction and notes, by Leslie S. Klinger. by Burgess, Gelett, 1866-1951, author. Naperville, Illinois : Poisoned Pen Press : Library of Congress, [2023] Subjects Private investigators -- Fiction. ISBN:  9781728264011 (trade paperback) : 1728264014 (trade paperback) Series:  Library of Congress crime classics. Description:  xii, 472 pages : illustrations ; 22 cm. Requests:  0 Summary:  ""From the inspired mystic to the man of practical analytic mind, the transition was instantaneous..." Astro, the Seer of Secrets, and his lovely assistant, Valeska, sound more like a magic act than a private detection team. Astro, in fact, hides his powers of observation and reasoning beneath a turban and a cape, pretending to read palms and consult crystals while in fact keenly observing details that most people-police included-miss. Valeska, his beautiful blond protege, assists Astro with his investigations, all the while honing her own skills. Called upon by believers and skeptics both, they adeptly recover what is missing-a rare Shakespeare folio, a missing husband, a kidnapped child-while also solving actual murders. But it is their burgeoning romance, and their mutual zeal to work pro bono where matters of the heart are at stake, that set this crime-solving duo apart"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Adult Fiction Burgess Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Fiction Burgess Checked In Add Copy to MyList
