With Sixteen Full-Page Illustrations by F. S. Wilson. First English edition. 8vo., original very dark grey cloth, lettered in red. London, New York, and Melbourne: Ward, Lock and Co. Limited,
Preceded by an American edition of the preceding year. On the trail of a violent Irish anarchist who is a master of disguise. The bomber is thought by some, probably erroneously, to owe something to Oscar Wilde. Kernahan knew Wilde and acted as copy editor for the book version of The Picture of Dorian Gray. Binding slightly tilted and spine a touch faded, but a very good copy.
