The Spy; and A Question Of Latitude

'The Amateur' is a novel written by Richard Harding Davis, a man best remembered today for being the first American war correspondent to cover the Spanish–American War, the Second Boer War, and the First World War. It is thus no wonder that the main character of this novel shares the same occupation as he; Austin Ford, a man currently working as the London correspondent of the New York Republic. For three years on that most sensational of the New York dailies he had been the star man, the chief muckraker, the chief sleuth.

The Novels and Stories of Richard Harding Davis ...

Excerpt from The Scarlet Car No old newspaper man can believe that there ever existed such a copy boy as Gallegher, or that a murderer with a finger missing from one hand could escape detection even in a remote country village. Greed would have urged the constable to haul to the calaboose every stranger who wore gloves. But he managed to attach so many accurate details of description to the romance that it leaves as definite an impression of realism as any of Mr. Howells's purposely realistic stories. The scene in the news paper oﬂice, the picture of the prize-fight, the mix ture of toughs and swells, the spectators in their short gray overcoats with pearl buttons (like most good story-tellers he was strong on the tailoring touch), the talk of cabmen and policemen, the swift ness of the way the story is told, as if he were in a hurry to let his reader know something he had actually seen - create such an impression of truth that when the reader finishes he finds himself pic turing Gallegher on the Witness-stand at the murder trial receiving the thanks of the judge. And he wonders what became of this precocious infant, and whether he was rewarded in time by receiving the hand of the sister of the sporting editor in marriage.
