Mr. Maverick Narkom, Superintendent at Scotland Yard, flung aside the paper he was reading and wheeled round in his revolving desk-chair, all alert on the instant, like a terrier that scents a rat. Meet Hamilton Cleek: former criminal, lost heir to the throne of a small European country, and now the suave private detective who consults with Scotland Yard. On top of that, he has the remarkable ability to change the features on his face, making him a brilliant undercover operative. "Introducing Hamilton Cleek, the forty-faced, elusive cracksman, in the last of the impudent, highly skillful and distressingly successful raids which have long exasperated London and baffled Scotland Yard. Henceforth Cleek is to make other but equally fascinating use of his genius. Now, however, he is at his old, uncanny tricks, displaying all the marvelous wit and resource which characterize this inimitably versatile hero." -The Pittsburgh Press - Oct 4, 1914
