Joe Phenix, private detective, or, The league of the skeleton key
Title
Joe Phenix, private detective, or, The league of the skeleton keys : a most unnatural, improbable story of life in our modern Babylon, New York, and yet as true as truth itself, a story of hidden crime--of the dark serpent that lies in wait behind the shadow of society, hidden by a screen of lies, ready to prey on youth, innocence and wealth, a story of highways and byways, of Satanic-like rascals and of the secret agents of the law, who, shadow-like, follow ever on the trail of guilt
