The Triumphs of Eugene Valmont (1906) is a collection of lively,
enjoyable stories about a French detective resident in London.
Whether dealing with a gang of anarchists in 'The Siamese Twin of a
Bomb-Thrower' or flirting with the supernatural in 'The Ghost with
the Club-Foot', the resourceful M. Valmont rarely loses his
sang-froid and self-confidence. He may not always catch the
criminal but his sense of style and Poirot-like conceit remain
intact.
John Trenton, artist, put the finishing touches to the letter he
was writing, and then read it over to himself. It ran as follows: -
"MY DEAR ED., "I sail for England on the 27th. But before I leave I
want to have another look at the Shawenegan Falls. Their roar has
been in my ears ever since I left there. That tremendous hillside
of foam is before my eyes night and day. The sketches I took are
not at all satisfactory, so this time I will bring my camera with
me, and try to get some snapshots at the falls.

This book (hardcover) is part of the TREDITION CLASSICS. It
contains classical literature works from over two thousand years.
Most of these titles have been out of print and off the bookstore
shelves for decades. The book series is intended to preserve the
cultural legacy and to promote the timeless works of classical
literature. Readers of a TREDITION CLASSICS book support the
mission to save many of the amazing works of world literature from
oblivion. With this series, tredition intends to make thousands of
international literature classics available in printed format again
- worldwide.
The book is a fact-based, fictionalized story of two aviators doing
espionage work for US and British intelligence agencies in 1939.
Their around-the-world mission is predicated on geodetic survey.
The times are poignant, while both the Nazis and Japanese are
seeking world domination. The pilots are seeking evidence of world
conquering avarice, and they find it through energy and oil-seeking
efforts of the Axis powers. Neither the Nazis nor Japanese can know
the truth of the pilots' mission, or else troubles will follow.
Throughout the book, the pilots must avoid disclosure and its grim
consequences or death from exceedingly dangerous flying conditions
to include flak.
