The Leather Duke

Johnny Fletcher and Sam Cragg have faced many a tough problem in their lives, but never one so dismal as the one they come up against now. Circumstances beyond their control (and for once, beyond their ability to twist, sidestep, or disregard) force the boys either to take jobs in order to cat or to sit out a Chicago winter on a park bench. So, fighting every inch of the way, they become the employees of "the Leather Duke," Chicago's biggest operator in the leather business.Most leather workers grind drearily along for years with nothing to break the monotony. Not so Johnny and Sam. Before they've been there half a day, Sam finds a corpse where he should have found a barrel of leather counters. Then the uproar begins. Whether they're fighting in poolrooms in Little Italy, mixing it up at Turnverein dances, or merely adding a fine new lustre to their well-developed art of deadbeating, these two lads are at it every minute. Johnny Fletcher fans will find this full of excitement. So will everybody else.

The Lock and the Key

Did you ever spend your spare time planning a caper which involved robbing a safe deposit box? Neither did Tommy Dancer, but as a lock and key expert he found himself involved in someone else’s plans. Tommy was a young man with deft fingers and not too many morals and THE LOCK AND THE KEY is the story of what happened to him when he listened to a man with more cunning than locksmithing ability.THE LOCK AND THE KEY is a fast and fascinating story with a very unusual background. We particularly recommend it to bank presidents (a warning), bank robbers (how-to-do-it) — and to the thousands of readers who would no more miss a new Gruber than rob a safe deposit box.
