The Ghost, Spring, 1940THE GHOST STRIKES BACKby G.T. Fleming-Roberts(as George Chance) Author of “Calling the Ghost”Follow the Super-Detective as He Tackles the Perilous and Baffling Case of the Prophesies of Death!Meet—The GhostIN the last issue of THE GHOST George Chance made his bow. 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.George 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.So 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.Remember 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.Chapter 1: Murder is No Laughing MatterChapter 2: I Call Up the DeadChapter 3: The Box of ThornsChapter 4: Blood and RougeChapter 5: The Man with ClawsChapter 6: On the Big Black DotChapter 7: Murder MotiveChapter 8 Magnus Makes His PinchChapter 9: A Brace of ThugsChapter 10: Warning on the WallChapter 11: The AvengerChapter 12: The Road Goes NowhereChapter 13: Spirit TempleChapter 14: Guns of the RacketChapter 15: I Warm the DoctorChapter 16: Murder FlameChapter 17: Shake-DownChapter 18: Hide and SeekChapter 19: Tomorrow’s MurderChapter 20: Coin of the DamnedChapter 21: The Fourth PredictionChapter 22: I Meet the MurdererChapter 23: StalemateChapter 24: The Fifth PredictionChapter 25: The Essential ClueChapter 26: The LeperChapter 27: The Finger of Light
