Story synopsis Good Reads:
The hero of the story is Daniel Maitland,"whose somewhat somber but sincere and whole-hearted participation in the wildest of conceivable escapades had earned him the affectionate regard of the younger set, together with the sobriquet of 'Mad Maitland'."

Daniel Maitland, Esquire, is a jaded Manhattan socialite at the turn of the 20th century. He keeps running into a mysterious woman in grey who catches his fancy. She at first mistakes him for Daniel Anisty, a notorious safecracker and jewel thief. Thinking this is a way to get to know her better, Maitland goes along with her mistake, even going so far as to crack his own safe and "steal" the famous Maitland family jewels.

Dan and some friends have just arrived back in New York City after being gone for several weeks. The friends have planned out the activities for the evening, and Dan isn't thrilled. In fact, he knows it will be quite boring.

When Dan's friends drop him off at his apartment building, someone catches his eye - "a young and attractive woman coming out of a home for confirmed bachelors." And upstairs in his own flat, he finds a handprint on his dusty desk, just the size he would expect from that young and attractive woman's hand.

So begins a fantastic couple of days for Dan. He encounters burglars, pushes a car out a creek, engages in some fisticuffs, meets an imposter, lies to the police, speeds through the New York streets, hot wires an elevator and then gets in a shoot out. A cracking good time for "Mad Maitland'.
