Hi:

Boston Blackie’s Little Pal
By Jack Boyle
From The Redbook Magazine June 1918

Boston Blackie steals some jewelry, and saves a family. I am not sure how Blackie rates as a Hard Boiled Gangster. :hmm:

Enjoy

Please complete your one minute test first.
Once that is completed and oked, you will need to find a Public Domain text to read. For these collections, readers supply their own text.

After reading several of these (Boston Blackie stories) I am beginning to see what made them popular. Blackie has a strict moral code, which he doesn't violate.

Anyway, Enjoy
