A story that deals with an international plot of war in which the elusive Isabel is a delicate and vital instrument. It involves the determination of the Latin countries to unite in ending the sway of England and the United States, and to dominate the world - socially, spiritually, commercially and artistically. How an American secret service man foils the plan, how he also falls in love with the woman who engineered the compact is told convincingly and with not a little verve.* * * * *There is a lot of good detective work done in it of the romantic kind.-The Independent [1909] Mr. Futrelle certainly has a knack of making a tangled skein and unraveling it quite simply. The atmosphere of the story - whether it be real or not - takes the reader out of himself and away from his conceived notions of Washington as a 'city of evasion and conventionalities.' -N. Y.
