The Mucker

Adventures in Chicago California Honolulu and an unfrequented Japanese Island and among gangmen policemen sailors millionaires yachtsmen nobility savage head-hunters and prize fighters fall to the lot of Billy Byrne the Mucker as extraordinary a character as the world-famous Tarzan. Raised in the alleys of a gang-infested district of Chicago among murderous thugs and porch-climbers Billy Byrne grew up a mucker and a violent hater of law and order. A murder of which he was accused but innocent hurled him into a series of startling adventures on land and sea that rival any that were ever narrated by Jack London or Joseph Conrad. They were the means however for giving birth in the mucker to a new and finer regard for the law and for having him meet the one woman who changed the current of his life.
