LOUIS JOSEPH VANCE
Reading edition
1921
TO ROBERT AITKEN SWAN WHOSE FRIENDSHIP I HAVE TRIED IN MANY OTHER WAYS, THIS YARN WITH DIFFIDENCE IS DEDICATED
NOTE: This is the fourth of the Lone Wolf stories. Its predecessors were, in chronological sequence, "The Lone Wolf," "The False Faces," "Red Masquerade."
Each story, however, is entirely self-contained and independent of the others.
If it matters....
