About this book
A stolen memorandum book puts a young newspaper writer on the edge of a private scandal. Jack Lyndon of the Daily Thunderer interrupts an attack on the elderly Gilbert Leigh, whose investigations have uncovered forgery, missing money and another dangerous secret. The assailant wants the evidence. An electric street light goes out just after Jack strikes the attacker. This opening gives Mrs. E. Burke Collins's American dime novel an immediate sense of danger.
Romance becomes equally tangled inside the wealthy Raleigh household. Jack struggles with Lillian Leigh's engagement to Richard Raleigh while pursuing a proposal of his own to Rosamond. Money, wounded pride and family expectations shape these uneasy attachments, and Mrs. Raleigh objects fiercely to her son's choice of a working girl.
