Sinopsis
"The Wire Devils" by Frank L. Packard is a gripping crime novel set against the backdrop of the rugged Rockies. The story follows the protagonist, known as the Hawk, a recently released convict from Sing Sing, who finds himself embroiled in a series of criminal activities in the West. The narrative begins with the Hawk intercepting a secret coded message that reveals a plan to rob the divisional paymaster's office of ten thousand dollars. The Hawk, a master of disguise and deception, decides to take advantage of this information for his own gain. As he executes his plan, he encounters Butcher Rose, a member of a notorious gang called the Wire Devils, who are responsible for a string of daring robberies in the area. The Hawk manages to outwit the Butcher and escape with the money, but not without drawing the attention of MacVightie, the head of the railroad's detective force. The novel intricately weaves themes of trust, betrayal, and survival as the Hawk navigates through a world of crime, constantly staying one step ahead of both the law and the criminal underworld. The tension escalates as the Hawk's past and present collide, leading to a thrilling climax that tests his cunning and resolve. Packard's narrative is a masterful blend of suspense and action, capturing the reader's attention with its fast-paced plot and richly drawn characters.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -' Two switch lights twinkled; one at the east, and one at the west end of the siding. For the rest all was blackness. Half way between the switch lights, snuggled close against the single-tracked main line, the station, little more than a shanty and too insignificant to boast a night operator, loomed up shadowy and indistinct. Away to the westward, like jagged points sticking up into the night and standing out in relief against the skyline, the Rockies reared their peaks. And the spell of the brooding mountains seemed to lie over all the desolate, butte-broken surrounding country¿for all was utter silence.And then there came a sound, low at first, like a strange muttering from somewhere to the westward. It died away, grew louder, was hushed again¿and broke into a sustained roar. Came then the quick, short gasps of the exhaust¿it was a freight, and a heavy one. And suddenly, from up the track, circling an intervening butte, an electric headlight cut streaming through the black. It touched the little station in a queerly inquisitive way in the sweep of its arc, lingered an instant over the platform, then swung to the right of way, and held there, the metals glistening like polished silver ribbons under the flood of light.' 164 pp. Englisch.
