The Simple Case of Susan (1908) is a romance novel by Jacques
Futrelle. Published at the height of his career as a leading
popular detective and science fiction writer, The Simple Case of
Susan is unique example in Futrelle's oeuvre as a lighthearted
romantic comedy. Celebrated for his brisk storytelling and mastery
of suspense, Jacques Futrelle was lost at sea on April 15, 1912
while returning from Europe on the HMS Titanic. His wife, who
survived the disaster, had his last book dedicated to "the heroes
of the Titanic." "This was Susan. Perhaps the stately Mrs. Wetmore
described her more tersely when she said she was feather headed. Be
that as it may, Susan was Susan-irrevocably, everlastingly, and
eternally Susan." Everyone thinks they know Susan. She was
beautiful and free, a desirable young woman in New York's vibrant
social scene. Then she was married, leaving behind her independence
for a traditional relationship. When she runs into Dan Wilbur, an
old flame, in a shop on Broadway, Susan finds herself reminded of
all the men who came before, the broken engagements,
disappointments, and near misses that defined her former romantic
life. Desperate to leave those days behind, she can't help feel
through Dan's flirtations a slight pull back to the woman she was,
the Susan who lived fast and free. With a beautifully designed
cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of
Jacques Futrelle's The Simple Case of Susan is a classic of
American fiction reimagined for modern readers. The Simple Case of
