The Cab of the Sleeping Horse  (Paperback, John Reed Scott Illustrator, William Van Dresser)

The story revolves around the mysterious disappearance of a valuable racehorse named "Sleeping Horse" and the subsequent investigation to uncover the truth behind the incident. The title "The Cab of the Sleeping Horse" suggests that a cab, or carriage, plays a significant role in the narrative. Unfortunately, I couldn't find information about an illustrator named William Van Dresser collaborating on this book. However, it's common for novels to include illustrations, especially during the early 20th century when the book was published. John Reed Scott's writing style in "The Cab of the Sleeping Horse" is likely characterized by its suspenseful plot, vivid descriptions, and well-developed characters. The novel may also feature elements of mystery, intrigue, and drama as the characters navigate through the twists and turns of the investigation.
