Imagine that your father is one of New York City's top gangsters,
and that you want nothing to do with him or his criminal empire.
Now imagine he's been murdered . . . and the only person who gives
a damn is you. Meet Mat Lawrence, a stand-up guy-think Gary
Cooper-who's got one thing on his mind: revenge. The last place Mat
wants to go is back to New York, but that's where the killers are,
and he won't stop until they're dead . . . or he is. And there's
only one man who can help him track them down: his father's
criminal attorney-the Mouthpiece. But there's more than a desire
for revenge at play in this deadly game. When Mat's old man went
down, a million dollars went missing. Put it all together-a
cold-blooded murder and a cool million gone-and it's a pretty good
bet that the one thing Mat is sure to find is some serious heat.
Mouthpiece was originally published in the September, 1934, edition
of Thrilling Detective. That same year, as the youngest writer ever
to serve as president of the New York Chapter of the American
Fiction Guild, L. Ron Hubbard sought to promote greater accuracy in
the writing of detective and mystery stories. To that end he
invited the coroner to speak to the Guild members over lunch. He
later recounted that "they would go away from the luncheon the
weirdest shade of green." But, we can assume, they also went away
better informed. Years later, expanding his studies in the area,
Hubbard became a special officer with the Los Angeles Police
Department. Also includes the tales of mystery, Flame City, the
story of one man's harrowing attempt to save his father and the
city from a serial arsonist; Calling Squad Cars!, in which a police
dispatcher goes to extraordinary lengths to bring down a gang of
bank robbers after he is accused of working with them; and Grease
Spot, the story of a former racecar driver, now the owner of a
wrecking company, who plays fast and loose with the police . . .
and may have to pay for it. * A Publishers Weekly Listen Up Award
