"How serene the joy, when things that are made for each other meet and are joined; but ah, - how rarely they meet and are joined, the things that are made for each other " -SAO-NAN. When Peter Moore entered the static-room, picked his way swiftly and unnoticingly across the littered floor, and jerked open the frosted glass door of the chief operator's office, the assembled operators followed him with glances of admiration and concern. No one ever entered the Chief's office in that fashion. One waited until called upon. But Moore was privileged. Having "pounded brass" for five useful and adventurous years on the worst and best of the ships which minimize the length and breadth of the Pacific Ocean, he was favored; he had become a person of importance. He had performed magical feats with a wireless machine; he had had experiences.

Long considered the prototype of Erle Stanley Gardner's fictional attorney, Perry Mason, Gillian Hazeltine was the most popular criminal attorney/investigator series characters from the golden era of the pulps. Author George F. Worts is known for his adventure characters Peter the Brazen and Singapore Sammy, but Gillian Hazeltine was his longest-running series, clocking in at nearly 30 courtroom adventures. This edition collects two successive adventures: Murder on the High Seas: a female passenger on the schooner Jula Jungle has been accused of murdering her own father by the entire crew. Hazeltine has agreed to defend her, but shall he regret the decision once he learns his lifelong opponent-D.A. Yistle-is acting as the Federal prosecutor?The Diamond Bullet: Doomed to be convicted of murder by the reluctant testimony of the girl who loves him, a young farmer is being sacrificed to gangsters' political ambitions... and Hazeltine doesn't see any way to save him

Sailor Singapore Sammy Shay roamed the South Seas, desperate to find the father he neither knew nor loved. For reckless old Bill Shay had absconded with the only copy of a will that left all of his own father's worldly riches to Sammy alone. Singapore Sammy didn't know why, and he didn't care particularly. He just wanted to get his hands on that precious document. He had only two clues to go on: his old man loved pearls and elephants-in that order. When Sammy came into possession of the fabulous Malobar pearl, he realized that he had something to bargain with. If only he could track down the elusive Bill Shay....The volume collects the next four stories in the saga of Singapore Sammy Shay and Lucky Jones of the schooner, Blue Goose.

When the roar of the ring meets the hush of the courtroom, Gillian Hazeltine-the Silver Fox-must play prosecutor, defender, and avenger in two pulse-pounding tales of violence, deception, and raw human courage. In "A Reptile Named Robard," Hazeltine peels back the gilded surface of high society to expose blackmail, betrayal, and a shocking frame-up that threatens everything he loves. In "The Lost Punch," he takes on the impossible: restoring a fighter's lost power and then racing to save him from the electric chair after a single, world-shaking blow becomes a murder case. Worts spins blistering fight scenes, razor-sharp courtroom strategy, and aching human drama into a compact, electrifying volume where every witness is suspect and every secret can be lethal. Perfect for fans of vintage pulp, roaring-twenties thrills, and courtroom sagas, Volume 4 finds Hazeltine at his best-ruthlessly clever, morally complicated, and heartbreakingly human. If you crave legal thrills, hard-won justice, and the smell of the ring, this collection packs knockout punches on every page.
