Hallowe’en Nights Series (1-2) by Harry Stephen Keeler
Requirements: ePUB / MOBI Reader, 2.6MB | Retail
Overview: Born in Chicago in 1890, Keeler spent his childhood exclusively in this city, which was so beloved by the author that a large number of his works took place in and around it. In many of his novels, Keeler refers to Chicago as "the London of the west." The expression is explained in the opening of Thieves’ Nights (1929):
"Here … were seemingly the same hawkers … selling the same goods … here too was the confusion, the babble of tongues of many lands, the restless, shoving throng containing faces and features of a thousand racial castes, and last but not least, here on Halsted and Maxwell streets, Chicago, were the same dirt, flying bits of torn paper, and confusion that graced the junction of Middlesex and Whitechapel High streets far across the globe."

If only Japan could lay her hands on the Thirteenth Coin of Confuscius, which was floating around somewhere in the United States, she could thwart a certain Chinese ambition.

It was the passenger’s raincoat that the Secret Agent had his eyes on, and at the first opportunity he grabbed it and substituted a duplicate. Ina lightning fraction of a second, he shot his hand into the pocket. In the leather purse he found not the sacred gold piece but a dead finger wrapped in cellophane…
#2 – Behind That Mask
Behind That Mask is a direct sequel to his 1932 novel, Finger! Finger!—and although it concludes successfully the story begun in volume one, readers should definitely have finished Finger! Finger! before starting this one. You have been warned!
