Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'Straight Crooks' is a compelling crime novel that explores the complex morality of the criminal underworld in the early 20th century. Written by Howard Fielding, a master of the mystery genre during the pulp era, this work delves into the high-stakes world of theft, deception, and the unexpected honor that can sometimes be found among those living outside the law. The narrative centers on the intriguing concept of the 'straight crook,' a character who navigates a life of crime while adhering to a personal code of ethics that often puts them at odds with both the police and their less scrupulous peers.Set against a backdrop of urban shadows and daring schemes, the story is filled with the sharp dialogue and suspenseful plotting that defined the detective fiction of the 1920s. As the protagonists face double-crosses and dangerous confrontations, Fielding weaves a web of intrigue that keeps the reader guessing until the very end. This work serves as a quintessential example of early American crime fiction, capturing the atmospheric tension and stylistic flair of its period. It remains a significant piece for readers interested in the evolution of the hardboiled genre and the literary history of the mystery thriller.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

Neuware - In the bustling metropolis of New York, the Practical Scientific Reform Association stands as a peculiar temple to adventure, founded by the renowned criminologist Woodbury Newcomb. When Newcomb and his wealthy bride vanish on a global wedding tour, the institution's stability rests upon its three reformed pillars: William Harris, Jack Pinney, and Frank Gleason. These men of questionable pasts now manage confidential affairs for the city's elite, but their uneasy peace is shattered by news of their patron's alleged capture by Chinese bandits.As anxiety ripples through the association, Jack Pinney encounters Holden Terry Burgoyne, a reckless young heir carrying a mysterious candy box that conceals the famed Burgoyne pearls. What begins as a chance meeting over mint juleps quickly spirals into a web of deception involving a shrewd legal guardian, a defiant young heiress, and a suspected conspiracy to defraud the state of an inheritance tax.With the association's future hanging in the balance and old criminal instincts stirring, the reformed men must navigate a treacherous landscape of half-truths and hidden agendas. The case of the Burgoyne pearls becomes a test of loyalty, greed, and the fragile facade of respectability that holds them all together.…
