In the aftermath of the Cobb family's financial downfall, penned by the talented Fred MacIsaac, young Steve Cobb seeks solace as a hermit on Cape Cod, his family estate now under the control of the cunning William Warburton. Possessing the last valuable remnant-a block of Cobb Company bonds-Steve becomes the target of Warburton's relentless pursuit. As Steve endeavors to retrieve the stolen bonds, he faces a series of escalating dangers, from ransacked hideouts to tense encounters with Warburton's wife. Amidst police investigations and unexpected interventions, this riveting tale unfolds as a saga of intrigue, deceit, and one man's fight for survival.

Trees of living gold in the Amazon jungles, guarded by alligators, poisoned darts and rival hunters-such was the lodestone that drew an American expedition, and the unwilling Pete Holcomb.... Never before reprinted, it's one of the best high adventure stories Argosy fan-favorite Fred MacIsaac wrote for the magazine. Volume #7 of The Argosy Library.

Meet the "Rambler": peripatetic newspaper reporter Addison Francis Murphy. A tall, rangy redhead, the Rambler behaves like a tramp, wandering from city to city, often arriving on a railroad boxcar, never taking root. Renowned for his reporting skills and deductive abilities, Frank Murphy never has any difficulty landing a job with the local newspaper; wherever he winds up, he finds that his reputation has preceded him. The Rambler has a knack for getting into trouble, and every search for a front-page scoop puts him in jeopardy sooner or later. He seems to have a genius for running afoul of violent gangsters, wealthy businessmen, corrupt politicians, crooked cops, and the occasional double-crossing dame. Created by Fred MacIsaac, at one time a redheaded journalist himself, Frank Murphy rambled through 19 terse, tough yarns published between 1933 and 1940 mainly in the pages of Dime Detective, the prestigious crime pulp second only to the legendary Black Mask in its impact on the genre. Contains the following stories: "Murder on the Mississippi," "Cat's-Paw for Murder," "Blond Cargo," and "The Corpse in the Taxicab."
