Overview

Written at the height of Websterās career as a popular author of magazine serials, The Whispering Man is a story of romance, mystery, and murder. Filled with twists and complicated motives, The Whispering Man remains an underappreciated whodunnit over a century after it appeared in print. āIt is strange that we should have been talking about Dr. Marshall that very night, I and my new friend and neighbor, across our little table in the restaurant. Talking about him we were, and at considerable length, too, before I bought the paper that had the news of his death in it.ā Out to dinner with his friend Arthur Jeffrey, a painter, Drew learns of the death of Dr. Roscoe Marshall, a prominent alienist, from natural causes. Only moments before, they had been discussing Marshallās work in relation to Drewās expertise in legal evidence, to which Jeffrey had responded by detailing his portrait work for Marshallās wife. As it turns out, Madeline Marshall, nĆ©e Cartwright, is a former love interest of Drewās, and the discussion has loosened a painful memory within him. Shocked by the news of the doctorās death, Drew looks across the dining room to find Marshallās son, who has come at his motherās request. In the cab back to their apartment, the young man has one word on his lips: murder. With a beautifully designed cover and a professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Henry Kitchell Websterās The Whispering Man is a classic of American mystery fiction reimagined for modern readers.
