George Chance

When George Chance slips into the night, the underworld knows something uncanny is abroad. Magician, master of criminology, and implacable pursuer of justice, THE GHOST uses sleight of hand, cold reason, and a fearless will to unmask killers who think themselves beyond the law. In these 1940 adventures by G.T. Fleming-Roberts, Chance confronts murder that wears a mask and laughter that hides a corpse-cases that test his methods, his wit, and the thin line between illusion and truth.

George Chance: The Ghost Archives, Volume 2 collects "Murder Makes a Ghost" and "The Case of the Laughing Corpse," presented here as they first thrilled pulp readers-taut, theatrical, and relentlessly clever. For devotees of classic crime and anyone who loves a detective who practices detection like magic, these two tales deliver shadowy suspense and courtroom-caliber cunning.
