Two Newspaper Men Unearth the Swindling Conspiracy Of A Daring Criminal Band

"Jeffrey Darrell, special writer for the 'Call,' was close on the trail of a big story which he thought might lead him, in the end, to Carl von Tresseler, the 'Blonde Beast of Bremen' who had made a name for himself as a paragon of bestial cruelty as head of the great Innesbaden prison camp during the War, when his plans were completely upset by the assignment of Feldock, a mysterious detective-reporter, to help him on the case and story. Clues found in the laundry of a Chinaman who is suddenly murdered after his discovery of a message on a handkerchief entrusted to his care, point toward the presence of a gang of world swindlers in the city and Darrell suspects that Von Tresseler is directing their movements. But, search as he may, he cannot locate the arch-criminal, until, finally, the chase narrows down to a message concealed in a missing alarm clock. In it is the secret of great price--and in the stirring events which precede its discovery the author has written the deepest and most daring kind of mystery story
