The Sign of the Seven Sins
Carmela Rosselli, twenty-five, half Italian and half American, convent-educated in Florence and already weary of the world, tells her own story and warns at the outset that she is holding one fact back. It takes her from Florence to London and Monte Carlo, through a love affair, a mystery involving a millionaire and his yacht, a secret society whose emblem is an owl, and a sequence of chapters that promise, in their titles, to grow more and more astonishing. William Le Queux published the novel in 1901 at the height of his popularity as a purveyor of cosmopolitan intrigue, and it has all his trademarks: Riviera settings, a heroine in danger and a conspiracy behind the curtains. It is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, with the first chapter free.
