CALL "M" FOR MURDER: Ultimate Collection - 885 Murder Mysteries, Thriller Novels & Detective Stories in One Edition

The Torch of Liberty features several Greek stories highlighting the development of democracy. The illustrations in this volume are by Kreigh Collins (1908-1974) who created the comic strip hero Kevin the Bold, and whose papers are collected by the library of Syracuse University. Frederic Arnold Kummer (1873-1943) was the son of a German emigrant who fought in the Civil War and helped found Kummer & Becker, the Baltimore banking firm who were agents for the North German Lloyd Steamship Line. In 1917 he wrote The Film of Fear, the earliest known novel with a motion picture theme. Three years later he wrote the lyrics for "My Golden Girl" a popular Broadway comedy with music by Victor Herbert. Kummer's other titles included The Green God (1911, Ladies in Hades: A Story of Hell's Smart Set (1928) and Gentlemen in Hades: The Story of a Damned Debutante (1930). His first wife, Clare Rodman Beecher (1873-1958) was a composer and songwriter who worked with Sigmund Romberg and Jerome Kern. His son by his second wife, Marjorie McLean-Frederic Arnold Kummer Jr.-became a science fiction writer. The collaboration of Kummer and Collins was well reviewed when it first appeared: "There have been a number of books on somewhat similar pattern - a collection of short stories designed to highlight periods in world history when the significance of freedom came to the fore. Janet Marsh's Don't Tread on Me, is an example. But this, though inevitably there is some overlapping, is far and away the best one that has been done. One traces the different aspects under which democracy has appeared from early Greeks to modern America, Good stories all."

Not illustrated. 1911 edition. Excerpt: ...crowding figures about him hung upon his movements with intense anxiety. The room was as silent as death. I heard Masquerade's muffled breathing as he watched the old man's every move, but I could see from the expression of his face that the scene meant no more to him than it did to me. Suddenly, with a loud cry, the priest broke the cake of soap in two, and there, within it, in a cavity about two inches long, lay the lost emerald Buddha, its wonderful color flashing and glowing in the light from the lantern above. I was absolutely dumb with amazement. Undeniably there before me lay the cause of Mr. Ash ton's death, yet how it came to be in that cake of soap, and what light its presence there threw upon the manner of his sudden and tragic end, was beyond my comprehension. At least, however, I understood why Li Min had tried to make away with my satchel, but the fact that the presence of the jewel among my belongings might cause suspicion to point in my direction did not for the moment occur to me. It evidently did, however, to McQueen, as I before long had reason to know. The kneeling priest rose to his feet with a glad cry, and, holding the image reverently in the hollow of his two hands, advanced toward the altar, the others crowding closely about him. Arrived at the shrine, he placed the figure carefully upon its pedestal within the golden casket, and, as the light of many candles fell full upon it, the whole crowd knelt down and began a weird sing-song prayer, that must have been a chant of joy, or some service of purification, now that their long-lost deity had been returned to them. Presently the strange sounds died away, and the various China men placed offerings of fruit, flowers and food upon the altar. At length the priest rose, and faced...

Frederic Arnold Kummer (1873-1943) was an American author best known for his novel "The Green God" and "The Brute." Sherlock Holmes fans also remember his pastiche "The Adventure of the Queen Bee."

The Brute

Frederic Arnold Kummer Sr. was an American author, playwright and screenwriter. He also wrote under the pseudonym Arnold Fredericks. Several of his works were made into films. A caricature of him is on the wall of Sardi's restaurant. He lived in Maryland. The dull October afternoon was rapidly drawing to a close as I passed through the village of Pinhoe, and set my steps rather wearily toward Exeter. I had conceived the idea, some time before, of walking from London to Torquay, partly because I felt the need of the exercise and fresh air, and partly because I wanted to do some sketching in the southwest counties. Perhaps had I realized, when I started out, what manner of adventure would befall me in the neighborhood of the town of Exeter, I should have given that place a wide berth. As matters now stood, my chief concern at the moment was to decide whether or not I could reach there before the impending storm broke.
