Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Millionaire Mystery Steering his course by a tapering spire notched in the eye of the sunset, a tramp slouched along the Heathton Road. From the western sky a flood of crimson light poured over the dusty white highway, which led straightly across the moor. To right and left, acres of sear coarse herbage rolled towards the distant hills, now black against the flaming horizon. In the quivering air gnats danced and flickered; the earth panted with the thirst of a lengthy drought, and the sky arched itself over the heat of a fiery furnace. For many hours the tramp had held on steadily in the pitiless glare of the mid-June sun, and now that he saw ahead of him the spire and house-roofs and encircling trees of the village whither he was bound, a sigh of relief burst from him.

Download or read book The Substitute Millionaire Classic Reprint written by Hulbert Footner and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-23 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Substitute Millionaire Young Jack Norman read of the millions with the kind of aching gusto that a hungry man pictures a good dinner. Jack's earnings were twelve dollars a week. He knew little about sociology or economics, but he could not but feel a dim dissatisfaction with the scheme of things that restricted him, with all a youth's capacity for living largely, to twelve dollars weekly, while it provided the old man with the tastes of a hermit crab, with a hundred thousand. Twelve dollars a week meant that Jack's still boyish appetite daily had to be less than satisfied by the fare of a second rate boarding house; it meant that he had to wear cheap clothes when the instinct of his years was to array himself like Solomon; it meant that his lip must curl with envy as the pleasures of the town passed him by; hardest of all to bear, it meant that the joys of honorable courtship were denied him. A fellow must have money to take a girl out in town. Jack's case was not peculiar. The same expression of sullen wistfulness might have been read in many a young face on the same train. What distinguished this face from the others was a latent fire in the eyes which suggested that, given the opportunity, the possessor had the capacity to play a larger part in life than twelve dollars a week permitted.

Seven million souls are at his mercy as his outrages mount in dizzying succession. The police, constrained by legal niceties and endless red tape, seem powerless to thwart his mad schemes. Enter Wayne Saxon, millionaire sportsman and world traveler, who devotes his life to running the Eye to earth. He works within the law when possible, but without it when necessary. Will he succeed? There's a thrill on every page of this baffling mystery.

Fingered for his wife’s grisly demise, Westland is in a bind, and his last hope is Bill Crane, a booze-soaked detective who’s as ruthless with a quip as he is when trawling the streets for Chicago’s most brutal criminal element.

But in 1930s Chicago, everyone’s got a secret, and the pressure is on for Crane to separate the dangerous from the truly homicidal before it’s too late.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Fugitive Millionaire "You'll have to marry, Lee! There is absolutely nothing else for it!" Mrs. Dorice stirred among her piled-up cushions, dropped her cigarette ash untidily onto the carpet, and pushed a pile of bills petulantly off her knees. Her small, fair, rather exquisitely tinted face was clouded, her clear, carefully modulated but hard voice was querulous. She looked across at the slim, straight, white-clad figure at the window at once speculatively and with annoyance. She found her stepdaughter annoying more often than not; and she was never wholly at her ease with her. There was something about Lee's power of listening to a conversation or argument in complete silence which was discomfiting as well as irritating.

Moon and stars gleamed from a cloudless sky. It was cool but beautiful. Buttoning his coat about his neck, he walked briskly from terrace to terrace, up and down, to and fro. The moon was almost at the full The sea was like a silver lake. Only the faintest breeze was stirring. A yacht, blazing with illumina tions, stood out like a thing of beauty. It was so still that voices, music, laughter travelled to him from its deck across the water. He knew what the yacht was, and the meaning of the blaze of glory. The boat, the Hoosier, was the property of Mrs. Van Volst, the widow of a notorious rather than famous American multi-millionaire. She was giving a dinner on board, to be followed by a dance. Had he chosen Philip Ford might have been among the guests. Now as he stood there, solitary, listening, watching, be rather wished that he had consented to join the revels later. He would have at least been free to follow his mood. The sight and the sound seemed to accentuate his feeling of solitude.
