"The Wire Devils" by Frank L. Packard is a gripping crime novel set against the backdrop of the rugged Rockies. The story follows the protagonist, known as the Hawk, a recently released convict from Sing Sing, who finds himself embroiled in a series of criminal activities in the West. The narrative begins with the Hawk intercepting a secret coded message that reveals a plan to rob the divisional paymaster's office of ten thousand dollars. The Hawk, a master of disguise and deception, decides to take advantage of this information for his own gain. As he executes his plan, he encounters Butcher Rose, a member of a notorious gang called the Wire Devils, who are responsible for a string of daring robberies in the area. The Hawk manages to outwit the Butcher and escape with the money, but not without drawing the attention of MacVightie, the head of the railroad's detective force. The novel intricately weaves themes of trust, betrayal, and survival as the Hawk navigates through a world of crime, constantly staying one step ahead of both the law and the criminal underworld. The tension escalates as the Hawk's past and present collide, leading to a thrilling climax that tests his cunning and resolve. Packard's narrative is a masterful blend of suspense and action, capturing the reader's attention with its fast-paced plot and richly drawn characters.

Not illustrated. 1918 edition. Excerpt: ... --Ill-- THE PAYMASTER'S SAFE FROM the roundhouse it was only a few yards to the rear of the long, low-lying freight sheds and, unobserved, the Hawk gained this new shelter. He stole quickly along to the further end of the sheds; and there, crouched down again in the shadows, halted to make a critical survey of his surroundings. Just in front of him, divided only by a sort of driveway for the convenience of the teamsters, was the end wall of the station, and, in the end wall-- the window of the divisional paymaster's office. The Hawk glanced to his left. The street upon which the station fronted, an ill-savoured section of the city, was dark, dimly lighted, and deserted; the only sign of life being the lighted windows of a saloon Ok Jie corner of a narrow lane that bisected the block of somewhat disreputable, tumble-down wooden structures that faced the station. To his right, on the other side of the freight shed, the railroad yard had narrowed down to the station tracks and a single spur alongside the shed. There was no one in sight in either direction. The Hawk's eyes strayed back to the paymaster's 2ft window. The station, like its surrounding neighbours, was an old wooden building; and, being low and only two-storied, the second-story window offered inviting possibilities. From the sill of the lower window, a man who was at all agile had the upper window at his mercy. Against this mode of attack, however, was the risk of being seen by any one who might pass along the street, or by any one who might chance upon the end of the station platform. "What's the use!" decided the Hawk, with an abrupt shrug of his shoulders. "Play safe. There's a better way." The Hawk crept across the driveway, reached the street side of the station, peered...

TheyÕve been listening for longer than you think. A new history reveals howÑand why. Wiretapping is nearly as old as electronic communications. Telegraph operators intercepted enemy messages during the Civil War. Law enforcement agencies were listening to private telephone calls as early as 1895. Communications firms have assisted government eavesdropping programs since the early twentieth centuryÑand they have spied on their own customers too. Such breaches of privacy once provoked outrage, but today most Americans have resigned themselves to constant electronic monitoring. How did we get from there to here? In The Listeners, Brian Hochman shows how the wiretap evolved from a specialized intelligence-gathering tool to a mundane fact of life. He explores the origins of wiretapping in military campaigns and criminal confidence games and tracks the use of telephone taps in the US governmentÕs wars on alcohol, communism, terrorism, and crime. While high-profile eavesdropping scandals fueled public debates about national security, crime control, and the rights and liberties of individuals, wiretapping became a routine surveillance tactic for private businesses and police agencies alike. From wayward lovers to foreign spies, from private detectives to public officials, and from the silver screen to the Supreme Court, The Listeners traces the long and surprising history of wiretapping and electronic eavesdropping in the United States. Along the way, Brian Hochman considers how earlier generations of Americans confronted threats to privacy that now seem more urgent than ever.
