The Flaming Jewel

273 pp. A wild tale of adventure in the Adirondacks. "The story begins with great excitement over a handful of gems, the greatest of which is the Fleming Jewel, a famous erosite stone. This belongs to the Grand Duchesse of Esthonia; it has been stolen by an international band of crooks. They in turn have been robbed of the famous jewel in Paris by Mike Clinch, a disreputable villain, who had a camp in the Adirondacks. This was a meeting place of the dregs of humanity."
