The second installment in the thrilling adventures of the Lone Wolfnbsp; A muddy figure inches his way across no man's land, the only living thing in a hellscape of death and misery. Artillery lights up the night sky and he pauses--as stiff and motionless as the corpses that block his path. Darkness returns, and he sprints to safety, tumbling down a ladder into the British trenches. He is no ordinary soldier returned from a nighttime mission. He is the Lone Wolf, master jewel thief, and he has been hunting his prey for years. When last we saw Michael Lanyard, he had turned his back on crime and was ready to start life anew, the beautiful Lucy Shannon at his side. But the reputation of a world-class thief always precedes him, and Lanyard's young family has been denied a home in America, England, and France. In Belgium, they thought they had found peace--until the invading German army brought a ruthless villain to their door. Alone again, Lanyard dedicates himself to vengeance, tracking his archnemesis across every battlefield in Europe. Herr Ekstrom is bound for New York, and the Lone Wolf will brave torpedoes, secret agents, and impressionable young women to exact his righteous revenge. This ebook features a new introduction by Otto Penzler and has been professionally proofread to ensure accuracy and readability on all devices.… (más)
I probably would have rated this four stars but for the writing style that made for a degree of reading difficulty. On the other hand, the writing style was one of the attractive curiosities of the book in that it gave insight into how much style has changed over the last century. The story held my interest despite the writing style, and, in addition, opened a window into some of the spy intrigue surrounding World War I and the German Fifth Column in the USA at the time. ( )

On the muddy verge of a shallow little pool the man lay prone and still, as still as those poor dead whose broken bodies rested all about him, where they had fallen, months or days, hours or weeks ago, in those grim contests which the quick were wont insensately to wage for a few charnal yards of that debatable ground.
