This is great! I have been meaning to read Boston Blackie ever since I got my jetBook Lite, but I've kept forgetting about it.
Not that it has any relevance to the book, but I believe that the first car chase I ever saw as a youngster was a Blackie television episode. Fast forward fifty years, and I buy a Blackie radio and TV DVD, and this TV episode was also a thriller. I'd like to see all of them if the two are representative of the series.
And I almost nominated Raffles! So I'm glad Harry did, and would have seconded/thirded it if I hadn't been beaten to the punch.
In the meantime, my nomination The Moonstone is highly regarded by all, so I'm going to have to give some thought as to which I vote for.
