Comprised of the tales ‚Story of the Young Man with the Cream Tarts‘, ‚Story of the Physician and the Saratoga Trunk‘, and ‚The Adventure of the Hansom Cab‘; ‚The Suicide Club‘ follows the Prince and the Colonel as they infiltrate the club, seek to disband it, and ultimately bring the nefarious president of the club to justice. First published in ‚London Magazine‘ in 1878, ‚The Suicide Club‘ is an exciting series of macabre tales.
