About this issue

This issue of the Old Sleuth Library presents "Night-Hawk, the Mounted Detective," by Old Sleuth. The story follows Tom Hawk, a federal detective assigned to patrol the Hudson River region and prevent robberies by an organized gang of burglars terrorizing wealthy riverside residents. Riding his trained Kentucky thoroughbred, Badger, Hawk discovers an unconscious young woman lying in flowers beside the road. When she revives, she appears frightened and refuses to explain her situation, though Hawk observes bruises on her hand and head. The girl hurriedly departs, leaving behind a portfolio containing a mysterious photograph that shocks the detective. Hawk resolves to investigate further, believing the incident connects to his ongoing investigation of the criminal gang.
