About the book

No Keeler fan can afford to miss this ingenious new mystery which concerns the activities of three clever vagabonds. Supposedly in the employ of the Mexican Rebel Commander, Lopez, who is waging war on a Texas town near the border, they are arrested as spies and spend the next 10 hours telling long, fantastic stories that involve strategy as well as entertainment. "The plot is intriguing, and brilliantly worked out. The Mexican-Texas situation provides a colorful and exciting background, and there is sufficient action, suspense, and intrigue to hold the reader spellbound. "Probably no writer of mystery yarns has ever lived whose work can compare with Keeler's. His originality, his ingenuity, his prolific powers, and his utter, irresistible logic rank him as one of America's outstanding mystery writers. He is known everywhere as the famous master of web-work drama in crime and horror. His tremendous popularity with readers on two continents grows with each book.
