Who was Jack O' Lantern?To Scotland Yard he was one of the cleverest criminals ever to pit his wits against their relentless machinery for man-finding.To Judge Wallington, known as the harshest magistrate in all Europe, his name recalled the trial of Tobias Lantern whom he had sentenced to death years ago with the help of a third jury after two others, hypnotized by Lantern's evil stare, had failed to arrive at a verdict-yet a man who had paid the supreme penalty for his crimes.
To the English press Jack O' Lantern was the murderer of Richard Summers, Albert Gale, James Henling; all jurors who had convicted Tobias Lantern, and Sir Randolph Cantier, prosecuting attorney at the trial. Each new crime in all England was attributed to this amazing criminal.In the London underworld it was whispered that Lefroy, tall, gaunt, and sinister, and Jack O' Lantern were the same personage, yet no one dared to openly disclose this fact.To Detective Inspector Wrench this criminal's capture was the prize that would firmly establish his reputation at Scotland Yard, while to Sam Knudge, light-fingered member of the underworld, his arrest meant the winning of Kate Banting, Lefroy's woman.In Jack O' Lantern, from the moment that Sir Randolph Cantier's body is dragged out of the Thames, to the final pages, the reader is never given a moment's rest from the exciting flow of George Goodchild's brilliant story-and what a story he tells!
Jack O' Lantern was published in 1929.
