"Get
ready
for
anything,
Sarge,"
came the
soft
command
from a
long-faced,
steel-eyed
man --
and a
diamond
was
stolen,
two
gangsters
and a
Senator
murdered,
a
startling
name
discovered
on the
band of
a derby
hat. The
Falcon
had come
to New
York.
Within a
week's
time
this
Robin
Hood of
modern
fiction
and his
admiring
"gang"
of one,
the
Sarge,
disrupted
entirely
the
plans of
gunmen,
crooked
politicians
and
police
for no
apparent
reason
save the
sheer
love of
justice,
fairness
and, on
occasion,
nemesis.
Here is
a book
to
delight
all
lovers
of
mysteries
and
thrilling
adventures
with a
central
character
who is,
in the
words of
Carolyn
Wells,
"more
important
than
Raffles,
more
human
than the
Lone
Wolf,
more
companionable
than
Arsene
Lupin."

A
taxicab
draws up
at a
curb on
the
Avenue,
on a
misty
New York
night.
The
driver
hands a
paper-covered
parcel
to the
sidewalk
news
vender
and
after a
few
furtive
words
releases
the
brake
and
pushes
the
clutch
forward.
he does
not
notice
that a
young
couple
have
rounded
the
corner
and are
sprinting
anxiously
for a
cab. As
the
young
man's
hand
reaches
out for
the
handle
of the
door to
get his
shivering
girl
companion
inside,
the cab
driver
sets his
car into
motion,
swerving
sharply
out from
the
curb.
The door
is swept
open
with a
jerk,
and
through
the
opening
of the
cab
there
lurches
across
the curb
the
totally
naked
body of
a man.
From
this
startling
beginning
the
story
moves
forward
with
increasing
speed.
The
doughty
Falcon,
who is
in on
the
story
almost
immediately,
again
wages a
lone
battle
against
crooks
and
crime,
this
time
wiith a
burlesque
strip-tease
queen
mixed up
with the
crooked
policeman
and
politicians
and
gangsters.

#3
The
Falcon,
that
lone
G-Man
who uses
neither
gun or
gang,
laughs
again at
both the
police
and the
underworld.
This
time the
scene of
his
activities
is
Marmont
Manor, a
hotel
thirty
minutes
from New
York
City's
42nd
Street.
The
Falcon
and his
assistant,
the
Sarge,
are
there
for a
brief
holiday,
but
within a
few
hours of
their
arrival
The
Falcon
receives
a
mysterious
package
containing
$100,000
in
negotiable
government
bonds.
And half
an hour
later,
when he
is on
his way
to his
room,
The
Falcon
catches
a
glimpse
of a
woman
hastily
leaving
one room
and
rushing
into
another
across
the
corridor.
When he
goes by
the open
door he
is
shocked
to see
that a
man is
sprawled
on the
floor --
dead !
