The Adventures of Madame Storey

<p>"She was very tall and supremely graceful. It was impossible to think of legs in connexion with her movements. She floated into the room like a shape wafted on the breeze. She was darkly beautiful in the insolent style that causes plainer women to prim up their lips. . . ." So we are introduced to the fascinating Madame Rosika Storey fearless and intelligent who plays cat-and-mouse with killers goes undercover to break up criminal gangs and unravels deadly mysteries. Author Hulbert Footner (1879-1944) brought the excitement of the 1920s and 1930s to Madame Storey's cosmopolitan adventures moving away from Edwardian and Victorian flavors of the mystery genre.
