Set in Brooklyn at the turn of the 20th century, this short story follows Emmie Reese, an aspiring journalist with a peculiar outlook on life and a poor understanding of currency exchange rates. Our heroine becomes involved with a death in the English county of Lancashire when one of her stories is found in the dead man’s pocket. Over several months—while pursuing her career, visiting a literary sweat shop, and doing some unusual freelance work at the racetrack—she solves the case through transatlantic correspondence with Scotland Yard.

It’s not surprising that a case that begins with a killing in a faux Chinatown and ends in a séance would include a generous helping of farce. But not even Harry Reese—a man well used to a life only loosely tethered to reality—is prepared for what he encounters that autumn in 1902. Before it’s over, he’ll meet cricket ranchers, vaudeville artistes, white slavers, morality crusaders, circus roustabouts, and wayward Utopians, and frequently become sidetracked by the need to rescue his loved ones from jail, or the clutches of a ruthless tong. Is it any wonder the case was put in motion by the machinations of his dear wife Emmie?

In July 1900, hapless insurance investigator Harry Reese travels to Buffalo to look into a suspicious fire. But when Harry uncovers a smuggling ring, the case morphs into something more sinister, and he’s faced with a new set of questions. What’s become of the notorious ringleader? And was the missing Charles Elwell killed for the insurance money? Or is he alive and sharing in the proceeds? To find the answers, Harry travels to Canada and back in the company of a political boss’s conniving stooge and a curious young woman who seems to be conducting an investigation of her own. It’s a byzantine odyssey, during which Harry can never be sure of anyone’s loyalties, least of all those who’ve hired him.

The writing career of M.E. Meegs began in the fall of 1900, when her first short pieces appeared in English newspapers. By this time, the intrepid young woman, in her guise as Emmie Reese, had already become a featured player in a series of mysteries, some of which would be recounted in her own inimitable voice. It is her subtle transformation from fictional New Woman to postmodern authorial surrogate which this important volume so scrupulously documents. Here you will find not only the three Emmie Reese Mystery short stories-The Birth of M.E. Meegs, Hidden Booty, and Psi no more-but also her unique newspaper reportage, her pioneering foray into the world of the literary magazine, and, most vitally, the opening novella of her greatest work of all. Babes at Sea is the first installment of what Meegs foresees will fulfill the promise of her universally acclaimed nascent efforts: the great novaplex, Byblos Foretold. This groundbreaking chef d'oeuvre is not simply a revolutionary new form-though it is that-but also a work of rarest distinction. What a treat lies in store for those discerning souls wise enough to get their hands on this gem of a volume!
