Harold MacGrath, a Syracuse newspaperman turned one of the highest-paid novelists of his age, caught the Red Scare of 1920 while it was still raging. Two priceless green stones out of a plundered Russian church, a grand duke's daughter hiding under a false name in a New York boarding house, and a Bolshevik agent with a scarred hand who means to have them both — the chase runs from Manhattan tenements to country estates and never slows. This edition presents MacGrath's complete and unabridged thriller, newly typeset and illustrated with 47 full-page color plates.
