The Bronze Hand Lib/E Anna Katharine Green

In this brief crime novel, set in the days of Abraham Lincoln's presidential election, a man responds to a cry for help from a woman who lives in the same block of apartments. She claims that a ring has been stolen from her finger and asks the man to assist her in recovering it. He steps in to lend a hand--a seemingly innocent response that sets off an unusual series of events.
