Excerpt from A Tale of Twenty-Five Hours
From the seventh floor the outlook was wider than it was below Paul Stuy vesant knew what he was about when he took rooms at the top of the house, and he had never regretted his selection. What he sought especially was quiet; and this he had found. Indeed, he had found more - a certain faculty of ab stracting himself from the busy life of the city beneath him - a power, as it were, of cutting himself off from the rest of the world.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This engrossing tale of suspense begins on a Friday morning as Paul Stuyvesant awakens in his bachelor apartment overlooking a bustling square in the heart of New York City. The quiet of the snow-covered streets is a stark contrast to the series of increasingly strange events that are about to unfold. A cryptic portrait and a mysterious photograph hint at a love story yet to come, but an unexpected discovery of a canceled check bearing the name of a known burglar casts a shadow over the day's serene start. As Paul delves deeper into the mystery surrounding the check, he finds himself entangled in a web of intrigue involving art theft, shady characters, and the suspicious behavior of a close friend. Throughout the story, the author explores themes of love, deception, and the elusive nature of truth.
