The Millionaire Babyaf Anna Katharine Green

Five thousand dollars is offered in reward to whomever finds the six-year-old heiress, Gwendolen Ocumpaugh, who has disappeared mysteriously from her home. Mr. Trevitt, a private detective, is on the case and when he discovers two lost shoes in the surrounding are – both for the same foot! – he suspects a conspiracy is at play. `The Millionaire Baby‘ (1905) is a story by American crime writer Anna Katharine Green; a delightful mystery with fascinating characters and twist after twist after twist.

Anna Katharine Green (1846-1935) was an American poet and novelist. She is best known for her novel `The Leavenworth Case‘ (1878) with which she became one of the first American writers of detective fiction. Agatha Christie cited Green as an influence on her own writing.
