Macon Moore, The Southern Detective
is a story of detective work among moonshiners in the mountain wilds of Southern Georgia. There is not a slow line in the entire book; it is written in a style that commands attention right from the drop of the hat. The first word is an exclamation, and they keep coming thick and fast. The best part of it all is that Macon Moore is a gentleman detective and in no sense a swashbuckled ruffian. He has the courage to meet even criminals and desperadoes on the level; in short he is what the schoolboy would call "A corker."
