The Tracer of Lost Persons
DescriptionThe Tracer of Lost Persons was Chambers’ third book, published in 1906. It concerns Westrel Keen, a private detective of the variety later called a skip tracer. Anyone seeking a lost person could apply to Mr. Keen. For a fee, Keen would find the missing individual, living or dead. He stated that he would take no fee unless he succeeded, and he succeeded every time. He was also a man of remarkably broad and often esoteric education, the background of which was never revealed. The Tracer of Lost Persons was made into a very popular radio show back in the 40s and 50s.
The Dark Star
DescriptionA pastor's daughter is inadvertently involved the heist of the famous Dark Star gem. Is there a prince who can save her from ruin and recover the stone? "The dying star grew dark; the last light faded from it; went out. Prince Erlik laughed. "And suddenly the old order of things began to pass away more swiftly. "Between earth and outer space-between Creator and created, confusing and confounding their identities,-a rushing darkness grew-the hurrying wrack of immemorial storms heralding whirlwinds through which Truth alone survives. "Awaiting the inevitable reëstablishment of such temporary conventions as render the incident of human existence possible, the brooding Demon which men call Truth stares steadily at Tengri under the high stars which are passing too, and which at last shall pass away and leave the Demon watching all alone amid the ruins of eternity."
