The Golden Face (Paperback)

William Le Queux was an Anglo-French journalist, writer, and diplomat. LeQueux was a wireless pioneer who broadcast music from his own station long before radio was available. He wrote the anti-German invasion fantasies The Great War in England in 1897 and The Invasion of 1910. An excerpt from this romantic mystery reads, "My first surprise on our arrival at Overstow Hall--and I was to have many more surprises before I had been long in Mr. Rayne's service-was at finding that though my employer had quite a large staff of servants, there was not a woman amongst them! Several guests were staying in the house, including a middle-aged lady, called Madame, whose position I could not exactly place, though she appeared to be in charge of the establishment, in charge also of Lola."
