Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "All the scum of the wilderness gathers here," went on Lannis. "Here's where half the trouble in the North Woods hatches. We'll eat dinner at Clinch's. His stepdaughter is a peach." The sturdy, sun-browned trooper glanced at his wrist watch, stretched his legs in his stirrups. "Jack," he said, "I want you to get Clinch right, and I'm going to tell you about his outfit while we watch this road. It's like a movie. Clinch plays the lead. I'll dope out the scenario for you——" He turned sideways in his saddle, freeing both spurred heels and lolled so, constructing a cigarette while he talked: "Way back around 1900 Mike Clinch was a guide — a decent young fellow they say. He guided fishing parties in summer, hunters in fall and winter. He made money and built the house. The people he guided were wealthy. He made a lot of money and bought land. I understand he was square and that everybody liked him. "About that time there came to Clinch's `hotel' a Mr. and Mrs. Strayer. They were `lungers.' Strayer seemed to be a gentleman; his wife was good looking and rather common. Both were very young. He had the consump bad — the galloping variety. He didn't last long. A month after he died his young wife had a baby. Clinch married her. She also died the same year. The baby's name was Eve. Clinch became quite crazy about her and started to make a lady of her. That was his mania." Lannis leaned from his saddle and carefully dropped his cigarette end into a puddle of rain water. Then he swung one leg over and sat side saddle. "Clinch had plenty of money in those days," he went on. "He could afford to educate the child. The kid had a governess. Then he sent her to a fancy boarding school. She had everything a young girl could want. "She developed into a pretty young thing at fifteen. … She's eighteen now — and I don't know what to call her. She pulled a gun on me in July."

Theweasel-faced clerk behind the wicket laid a pistol handy and informed Darragh that Sard was awayon a business trip.Darragh looked cautiously around the small office: "Can anybody hear us?""Nobody. Why?""I have important news concerning José Quintana," whispered Darragh; "Where is Sard?""Why, he had a letter from Quintana this very morning," replied the clerk in a low, uneasy voice."Mr. Sard left for Albany on the one o'clock train. Is there any trouble?""Plenty," replied Darragh coolly; "do you know Quintana?"5"No. But Mr. Sard expects him here any day now."Darragh leaned closer against the grille: "Listen very carefully; if a man comes here who callshimself José Quintana, turn him over to the police until Mr. Sard returns. No matter what he tellsyou, turn him over to the police. Do you understand?""Who are you?" demanded the worried clerk. "Are you one of Quintana's people?""Young man," said Darragh, "I'm close enough to Quintana to give you orders. And give Sardorders.... And Quintana, too!"A great light dawned on the scared clerk: "You are José Quintana!" he said hoarsely.Darragh bored him through with his dark stare: "Mind your business," he said.That night in Albany Darragh picked up Sard's trail. It led to a dealer in automobiles. Sard hadbought a Comet Six, paying cash, and had started north.Through Schenectady, Fonda, and Mayfield, the following day, Darragh traced a brand newComet Six containing one short, dark Levantine with a parrot nose. In Northville Darragh hired aFord.At Lake Pleasant Sard's car went wrong. Darragh missed him by ten minutes; but he learned thatSard had inquired the way to Ghost Lake Inn.That was sufficient. Darragh bought an axe, drove as far as Harrod's Corners, dismissed the Ford, and walked into a forest entirely familiar to him.He emerged in half an hour on a wood road two miles farther on. Here he felled a tree across theroad and sat down in the bushes to await events.Toward sunset, hearing a car coming, he tied his handkerchief over his face below the eyes, andtook an automatic from his pocket.

Book excerpt: THE FLAMING JEWEL Deep in the woods of upstate New York lives the disreputable Mike Clinch and his stepdaughter Eve. Clinch possesses a case full of jewels which he acquired, not entirely honestly, from the thief, Quintana. Quintana wants them back. To that end, he has assembled a gang to reacquire the jewels. But the jewels really don't belong to Quintana either. He stole them from Theodorica, Grand Duchess of Estonia. And hot on Quintana's heel is James Darragh, posing as a thief as well, who has pledged to return them to her. Meanwhile, state trooper Stormand, having fallen for Eve, also becomes involved. Together this motley group will play out a deadly game in search of the purloined treasure, and most especially, the Flaming Jewel!

Sutton certainly thinks she is dead. But then Pockman performs an operation on her, and the girl opens her eyes. Now Gilda seems in thrall to Sadoul. She becomes the new after hours belle of the ball. But she confesses to Sutton that another soul entered her body when she died, and now wants control of her-Sadoul exerts a hypnotic control over her and her Other.
