A Tough Private Eye Faces His Toughest Fight When He Pits Himself Against Killer Rattigan!

Chapter 1 – Girl With a Gun

IT WAS one of the toughest sections of lower New York. Detective Satan Hall plodded along the filthy sidewalk. He wondered too why the city didn’t clean it up. He didn’t wonder why they didn’t make the tenants clear it away. He had been raised in the lower part of the city himself. It was hard to be even decent there, yet many were. He marveled that anyone from that teeming network of crime and murder ever became honest, respectable citizens.

The saloon he turned into was dirty and dingy. The bartender knew him of course. Everyone even on the seamy side of life knew him, or at least recognized him from his pointed chin to his slanted green eyes, even his tapering ears. His likeness to the devil had given him his name—Satan.

The fat swarthy bartender lost his smile and slowly turned pale. Satan said easily.

“Stay where you are, fellow—no button pushing.” And coming close to the bar, “Is Jake Ryan in the back room? Don’t stutter, man. If you can’t talk, nod or shake your head. I’m not going to wreck the joint.”

The bartender gulped, said. “He’s in the back—with friends—door locked.” And as Satan turned toward the back room, “He’s armed and he’s tough.”

“He’s been kidding you.” Satan smiled. At least the bartender saw his lips part though his eyes remained the same hard green.
