Reprisals

It is mid-November, 1929. The stock market has crashed. The Roaring Twenties are about to end. But Cyrus Skeen, private detective, is not too concerned. He never bought on margin or gambled on "sure things" to make a quick buck; his wealth is secure. But many businessmen and investors, having grown reckless and thrown caution to the winds, made that mistake, and have been bankrupted. Ruined, some had committed suicide.
As a sequel to The Chameleon, Gideon Knowles was the only member of the mini-Bund in Palo Alto to escape the authorities. In this thirty-second Skeen outing, Skeen encounters again the foreign heirs of the Maxey Nazi gang. They want vengeance on the man who exposed the agents of a nascent American Nazi Bund and got them jailed for murder
