"The Sky Detectives; Or, How Jack Ralston Got His Man" by Ambrose Newcomb is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Jack Ralston, a skilled pilot and secret service agent, and his loyal friend Gabe "Perk" Perkiser as they embark on a thrilling chase to apprehend the notorious counterfeiter "Slippery Slim" Garrabrant. This adventurous tale combines elements of aviation, detective work, and drama, promising readers a gripping narrative filled with action and suspense. The opening of the book introduces us to Jack Ralston and Perk as they arrive at Candler Flying Field in Atlanta, preparing for a flight that will lead them to New Orleans and potentially to the heart of their case against the elusive criminal mastermind. They are depicted as experienced aviators set on tracking down Garrabrant, who has evaded law enforcement with his cunning tactics. Tension begins to build as they encounter unexpected events, such as a theft in the nearby hotel that hints at a larger criminal scheme. As Jack's keen instincts kick in, he suspects that their adversaries might already be aware of their plans, setting the stage for a high-stakes pursuit through the skies and into the depths of danger.
