Each of these volumes—The Lone Wolf, The False Faces, Red Masquerade, and Alias the Lone Wolf—offers an exciting new chapter in the saga of the Michael Lanyard, aka the Lone Wolf. In The Lone Wolf we learn of the private eye’s early life as an orphan, and of his training as a master jewel thief, when a group of outlaws threaten to expose him. In The False Faces, hell-bent on vengeance against a villain, he tracks his arch-nemesis across every battlefield in Europe. The Red Masquerade finds the Lone Wolf wrapped up in a scandal involving Russian royalty, forged paintings, and blackmail, and Alias the Lone Wolf shows him on the brink of retirement, pulled back into adventure by his now-grown daughter.

Louis Joseph Vance (1879-1933) is best remembered for creating the Lone Wolf, one of the most iconic characters in American popular culture. The gentleman jewel thief-turned-private eye set a trend for generations of mystery novels that followed and, between 1919 and 1949, inspired two dozen films.
