A Case for Superintendent Anthony Slade

Superintendent Anthony Slade, of Scotland Yard, arrives in Paris to enquire into the strange disappearance of a man using a false name. He says to solve one of the most baffling cases of his career.

In company with Inspector Henri Duval of the Paris Surete, he journeys across Europe on the trail of a man it is not humanly possible to find. In a Swiss sanatorium he meets a person whose very existence is a secret kept from the world, and back in Paris with Duval he learns why Charles Gentian, the financial freebooter known as the Chameleon, was frightened.

This novel featuring the author's popular detective adds another triumph of detection to Slade's already notable record.
