The Veiled Lady is a mystery novel written by F. Hopkinson Smith. The story follows the investigation of a murder case involving a wealthy and mysterious woman who always wears a veil to hide her face. The detective in charge of the case, Mr. Gryce, must unravel the secrets of the victim’s past and the motives of the suspects to solve the crime. Along the way, he encounters a cast of intriguing characters, including the victim’s husband, her former lover, and a group of art collectors. The novel is set in New York City in the late 19th century and offers a vivid portrayal of the city’s social and cultural scene during that time. The Veiled Lady is a classic example of the detective fiction genre and is known for its intricate plot, well-drawn characters, and suspenseful atmosphere.Up in these rooms on the third floor he was dear old Peter--or Pete--or Griggsy--or whatever his many friends loved best to call him. Up here, too, he was the merriest companion possible; giving out as much as he absorbed, and always with his heart turned inside out. That he had been for more than thirty years fastened to a high stool facing his desk bespoke neither political influence nor the backing of rich friends. Nobody, really, had ever wanted his place. If they did they never dared ask for it--not above their breath.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
