We are happy now to present his second memoir, THE GHOST STRIKES BACK, in which his courage, cleverness and skill continue to shine brightly in spite of his innate modesty.\u003cbr\u003eGeorge Chance, writing about himself, does not brag about his attainments in the twin fields which he has combined and made his own—-criminology and magic. But he cannot stop us from bragging about HIM. He cannot stop us from saying, for example, that he ranks at the top of his profession—the profession once graced by the great Harry Houdini, master of escape technique. It was thought that no one would ever equal the great Houdini, but that was before the time of George Chance.\u003cbr\u003eSo we repeat that in employing his magical talents in his crime-fighting role of THE GHOST, he has perhaps done more in the service of the Law than any other crusader for justice. Small wonder that criminals quake at the prospect of tangling with THE GHOST— master of the science of criminology, remorseless crime-tracker and criminal-catcher. When THE GHOST walks, the underworld stirs into deadly life to combat him.\u003cbr\u003eRemember these things when you read this and future memoirs of George Chance. You see, this modest, kindly, humorous magician is a far bigger man than he makes himself out to be. He won't say so himself. That's why we're once again saying it for him.—THE EDITOR.\u003cbr\u003eChapter 1: Murder is No Laughing Matter\u003cbr\u003eChapter 2: I Call Up the Dead\u003cbr\u003eChapter 3: The Box of Thorns\u003cbr\u003eChapter 4: Blood and Rouge\u003cbr\u003eChapter 5: The Man with Claws\u003cbr\u003eChapter 6: On the Big Black Dot\u003cbr\u003eChapter 7: Murder Motive\u003cbr\u003eChapter 8 Magnus Makes His Pinch\u003cbr\u003eChapter 9: A Brace of Thugs\u003cbr\u003eChapter 10: Warning on the Wall\u003cbr\u003eChapter 11: The Avenger\u003cbr\u003eChapter 12: The Road Goes Nowhere\u003cbr\u003eChapter 13: Spirit Temple\u003cbr\u003eChapter 14: Guns of the Racket\u003cbr\u003eChapter 15: I Warm the Doctor\u003cbr\u003eChapter 16: Murder Flame\u003cbr\u003eChapter 17: Shake-Down\u003cbr\u003eChapter 18: Hide and Seek\u003cbr\u003eChapter 19: Tomorrow’s Murder\u003cbr\u003eChapter 20: Coin of the Damned\u003cbr\u003eChapter 21: The Fourth Prediction\u003cbr\u003eChapter 22: I Meet the Murderer\u003cbr\u003eChapter 23: Stalemate\u003cbr\u003eChapter 24: The Fifth Prediction\u003cbr\u003eChapter 25: The Essential Clue\u003cbr\u003eChapter 26: The Leper\u003cbr\u003eChapter 27: The Finger of Light\u003cbr\u003e46,600 Words\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTen Detective Aces, July 1933\u003cbr\u003eA DEVIL'S HIGHBALL\u003cbr\u003eby G.T.
