Think Clark Gableâ with larceny in his heart and a price on his head. A price put there by the German Gestapo.But Blackyâ s always got an angle, and this time itâ s as audacious as they come. Heâ ll hide in plain sight, with the stolen identity of the crowned head of a Balkan kingdomâ the Iron Duke.Can he pull it off? Win the love of a country beset with communism â ¦ and of the beautiful Countess? All Blacky has to do is risk everythingâ and, for once in his life, find a way to do the right thing and reform.Hubbard and Gable were fast friends and fellow adventurers. While Hubbard was writing for Columbia Pictures in 1937, the studio often called upon him to doctor scripts for Gableâ giving him a unique knowledge of the man and inspiration for characters like Blacky Lee.â Colorful prose, lively action writing, exotic localesâ ¦excellent.â â Ellery Queen |
