Excerpt from The Lock and Key Library: Classic Mystery and Detective Stories
Jesse Blocher is not employed in New York County, and for business reasons he does not wish his present address known. When he comes to New York he occasionally drops into the writer's othee for a cigar and a friendly chat about old times. And as he sits there and talks so modestly and with such quiet humor about his adventures with the Texas Rangers among the cactus-studded plains of the Lone Star State, it is hard, even for one who knows the truth, to realize that this man is one of the greatest of detectives, or rather one of the most capable, resource ful, adroit, and quick-witted knights of adventure who ever set forth upon a seemingly impossible errand.
