Description: Lincoln, Natalie Sumner THE NAMELESS MAN in Original Dustjacket D. Appleton: NY, 1917 A bright copy in a nice dustjacket with a bit of wear at corners & light dust soiling to edges, top edge of text block and boards, lightly foxing. The real First Edition with the Appleton "1" at end of text. This is determinedly NOT the inexpensive Burt reprint. An exciting mystery involving high political and diplomatic officials and prominant society people in Washington, DC, featuring Lincoln's protagonist Inspector Mitchell. A California congressman is shot at a dinner party and Dwight Tilghman is poisoned on an eastbound train. Colonel Calhoun tries to unmask a Japanese plot. Natalie Sumner Lincoln (1881 – 1935) was an American novelist who wrote mystery and crime novels mostly set in her native Washington, D.C. She was the daughter of Dr. Nathan Smith Lincoln, Civil War physician and White House physician to US President James A. Garfield, and Jeanie Gould, novelist and children's author. Lincoln wrote 22 novels, all but one set in Washington, D.C. About half of them featured either Inspector Mitchell or Detective Ferguson of the Washington, DC police. Two of her novels were adapted as silent films: The Man Inside (1916) and Black Shadows (1920), the latter based on her novel The Official Chaperon. Lincoln was society editor for the Washington Herald from 1912 to 1914, and editor of the Daughters of the American Revolution Magazine from April 1915 until her death.
