Anna Katharine Green

In this Victorian–era mystery, a New York detective must uncover a plot with millions of dollars and many lives at stake.

A dying man is determined to leave his wealth to someone worthy. With no known relatives—he wants it to go to a woman who resembles the one he once loved—a woman who may not even exist.

Meanwhile, across New York City, young women are being murdered. They have nothing in common except for one strange detail. It seems that anyone bearing the name Jenny Rogers is in mortal danger. As Mr. Gryce investigates this perplexing mystery, he uncovers a pair of suspects who also share a name.

First published in 1890, A Matter of Millions is Anna Katharine Green’s sixth novel in the series that began with The Leavenworth Case.

The Mr. Gryce Mysteries

A Matter of Millions

This classic whodunit by the nineteenth-century author of The Leavenworth Case introduces the original spinster sleuth: Amelia Butterworth.

Living alone in the moneyed Manhattan neighborhood of Gramercy Park, Amelia Butterworth is happy to keep to herself. But awakened one night by the sound of a horse-drawn cab outside her mansion, she spies a curious couple entering a home she knows to be empty. When only the man emerges, Amelia calls the police—and is suddenly the sole witness to a murder.

But Amelia intends to do more than simply be interrogated, much to the chagrin of Det. Ebenezer Gryce. She has questions of her own, and soon the police detective and amateur sleuth are in a race to see who can solve the crime first.

“First published in 1897, this cleverly plotted mystery … featuring the first woman sleuth in a series, is a must for genre buffs. ” —Publishers Weekly, starred review
