WHEN Vance wrote "The Brass Bowl," he drew aside the curtain of night and turned the flash-light of his story-telling power into a woman's heart. When the reading public opened " The Black Bag," they saw in its depths the source of cupidity. Those who took the lid off "The Bandbox" found the story of vanity, love of finery, hunger of jewels, and the intrigues born of deceit. It was a best seller. In his " Destroying Angel " he fashioned a woman whose lips seemed a pool of poison and whose shapely arms were as slaying scimitars, whose favor meant failure, and whose kiss was the caress of death. Vance plays upon the keyboard of human emotions with a master hand. In his new novel, "The Lone Wolf , " the hero, Michael Lanyard, was a jackal reared
in the brooding shadows through which slips the mysterious Seine. The story opens with Lanyard as a boy, a cub taught by pain and experience that the stroking of kindly hands was as naught compared with the fang of a single foe. And so this creature of the shadows, in the beginning driven by hunger, though in the end stimulated by pride in his art, prowled from the slums of Paris into the very halls of the mighty. At the zenith of his fame something settled upon THE LONE WOLF'S heart. The wild look of hatred went out of his eyes, the snarl bred of pain died in his throat. In this story Louis Joseph Vance discloses a new angle of his powers. It is the love story in the life of THE LONE WOLF that makes it human.
