The Black Image
by Fergus Hume
Publisher: Ward, Lock 1918
ISBN/ASIN: B005G1EWKW
Number of pages: 336
Description:
From where the three stood on the ivy-clothed and moss-grown terrace, stretched an oblong space of ground, surrounded by lofty walls of black brick, looking all the more dreary for lack of creeping plants to hide their bareness. Right and left, even to the terminal wall, were double rows of sombre cypress trees, so tall, grim and solemn as to almost exclude the sunlight.
