No Hero Ernest William Hornung

No Hero... A woman from his past... A mysterious, sealed letter... A mountain with a deadly reputation... What brings these things together? And will they confirm or deny a man's assertion that he is no hero? The scene is laid in Switzerland, with a background of piquant hotel gossip, the narrative being in the words of a friend of the boy's mother who has undertaken the task of disillusionizing the lad. The result is as unconventional as it is unexpected. 'A clever, fresh, well-told story with more than the usual measure of art in its telling.'
