Publisher's Synopsis

The Four Faces is a thrilling mystery novel written by William Le Queux. The story revolves around the disappearance of a wealthy businessman named John Minute, who vanishes without a trace. The police are baffled by the case, and it seems as though Minute has simply vanished into thin air. However, a young journalist named Frank Spargo is determined to get to the bottom of the mystery. He begins to investigate Minute's past, and soon discovers that the businessman had many enemies. As Spargo delves deeper into the case, he uncovers a web of deceit and betrayal that leads him to four different suspects, each with their own motive for wanting Minute out of the picture. The Four Faces is a gripping tale of suspense and intrigue that will keep readers on the edge of their seats until the very end.The man had been done to death in a peculiarly horrible manner. He had been hit upon the back of the head with some heavy implement--probably a ""jemmy"" the police said when the wound, with the wounds upon the forehead, had been examined beneath a microscope. The theory they held was that some person had crept up unheard behind the victim--as this could easily have been done with snow so thick upon the ground--stunned him with a blow upon the back of the head, and then despatched him outright by blows upon the forehead.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
