In his new role of thriller-writer, Luke Allan threatens to eclipse the Luke Allan of 'Western' fame. Blue Pete: Half-Breed, The Blue Wolf and The Lone Trail are cow¬boy stories which remain evergreen in the public memory, but The Man on the Twenty- Fourth Floor, which appeared last season, and The Ghost Murder are thrillers that must steal much of the thunder of his earlier successes.The Ghost Murder tells how a bogus invitation sent eleven ill-assorted people to a gloomy house on a desolate island: how murder was committed, and how any one of those present might well have struck the death blow.It is an excellent thriller in which the element of mystery is admirably sustained.
THE LONE TRAILWHAT THIS STORY IS ABOUTWhen a novel by an unknown writer runs into its thirty-seventh thousand it must be something unusual. Blue Pete: Half-Breed was something unusual.In Luke Allan's new story an old friend reappears, Inspector Barker of the Mounted Police. Blue Pete is not here; but in his place there is the delightful little tenderfoot journalist Morton Stamford, who blunders into a drama full of thrills and incident.The description of the H-Lazy Z Ranch with Dakota Fraley and his outfit is a real Luke Allan piece of vigorous writing. For the weak of heart to read The Lone Trail is sheer murder-or should it be suicide?

Even when Randison joined forces with the Mounted Police to solve the mystery of Noisy Pangborn's murder he was constantly reminded that Gringo's words had been no idle threat. The tension snapped during the great cattle round-up, when Randison found himself face to face with his enemy. In the fight which followed and the subsequent stampede of maddened cattle Randison learned the true meaning of a fight to the finish against nature untamed.
