The Czar's Spy: The Mystery of a Silent Love
Gordon Gregg, acting British consul at Leghorn, is called to a strange case: an English steam yacht has run aground in the night, and the authorities suspect her crew of trying to lose her deliberately. The yacht's owner is charming and evasive, and a photograph of a young woman found on board sets Gregg on a quest that leads from the Tuscan coast to Scotland and at last to a fortress in Finland, where a girl who has been silenced is held by the Russian secret police. Le Queux published this novel in 1905, at the height of his fame as a writer of espionage fiction, and it mixes the tropes he helped establish: spies in yachting caps, hidden identities, and a police that can reach anywhere.
