Excerpt from The Man With the Brooding Eyes
Gentlemen, said Mr. Callaghan, I will declare a dividend.
He Opened a morocco case and laid a neat pile of bank-notes on the lacquer table beside him. Mr. Callaghan's air was that of a company-promoter presenting an unsatisfactory balance-sheet. Polish ing his spectacles gently with a silk handkerchief, he replaced them. His long white hand lifted a number of notes from the pile and laid them on one side.

Excerpt from The Man With the Brooding Eyes
"Gentlemen," said Mr. Callaghan, "I will declare a dividend."
He opened a morocco case and laid a neat pile of bank-notes on the lacquer table beside him. Mr. Callaghan's air was that of a company-promoter presenting an unsatisfactory balance-sheet. Polishing his spectacles gently with a silk handkerchief, he replaced them. His long white hand lifted a number of notes from the pile and laid them on one side.
"Vaille, two hundred pounds."
Vaille, dark and languid, admirably dressed, folded the notes with slender fingers and placed them in his pocket-book. There was a slightly contemptuous expression in his eyes.
"Drummond, two hundred and fifty pounds."
Harold Drummond, smart, fair-haired, and debonair, took his share with a smile.
"Thank you, Chief," he said genially.
"Slaney, three hundred pounds."

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book takes the reader into the shadowy world of a group of professional criminals operating in London during the early 20th century. The author explores the intricacies of their schemes and the morality of their actions, painting a vivid picture of a bygone era where illicit activities thrived in the heart of a bustling metropolis. The group is led by a charismatic mastermind, Mr. Callaghan, who orchestrates their crimes with meticulous planning and ruthless efficiency. They are bound by their shared profession and a deep respect for the memory of their deceased mentor, the legendary "Slim Jim" Carey. The story's focus then shifts to the discovery of Carey's long-lost daughter, a young woman unaware of her true identity and heritage. This discovery opens a new avenue for the criminals, who see the opportunity to manipulate her situation for personal gain. The book delves into the complexities of identity, wealth, and the corrupting influence of power, leaving the reader to contemplate the motivations of these individuals and the moral dilemmas they face. The author masterfully portrays the clash between ambition and conscience, exposing the vulnerabilities that lie beneath a veneer of sophistication and wealth, and reminding us that the pursuit of power can be a slippery slope, leading to consequences far beyond one's wildest imaginings.
