A Thrilling Detective Tale of Land and Sea
By Old Sleuth (Harlan Page Halsey)

Beneath the churning waters of New York Bay and along the shadowed alleyways of the Gilded Age city, a cunning criminal force is at work—and only one man can uncover the truth. Enter Ranleagh, the Lightning Irish Detective, whose wit is as sharp as his fists and whose courage knows no bounds.

First published in 1895 at the height of the dime novel boom, The Mystery of New York Bay blends nautical intrigue with urban crime, charting a pulse-pounding course through smuggling rings, waterfront secrets, and high society deceptions.

This restored edition returns the story to its original title and format as it appeared in the Calumet Library series, complete with the original advertisements.
