Short Stories of Mystery and Adventure

Bernard Capes is not well known today, but he does have several supernatural tales that are sometimes anthologized. Fewer readers today have read his non-speculative fiction, which is a shame.

This collection of 24 stories delves into his tales of mystery, adventure, and humor. There is a cryptography story, a tale of the Peninsular War, tales of murder and con men, and much more.
