The Crimson Flash

"The Crimson Flash" by Roy J. (Roy Judson) Snell is an early 20th-century mystery where Johnny Thompson, an ex-boxing champ, gets tangled up in a thrilling circus saga. The book kicks off with Johnny guarding the MacDonald twins, but things quickly go sideways after a series of mishaps. He's left tied up and out cold and wakes up to the problem that a valuable diamond ring belonging to one of the twins has gone missing, setting the stage for the rest of the adventure. Thinking a circus performer swiped the gem, Johnny's off on a hunt to snag it back from the clutches of an unknown culprit. Throughout it all we see Johnny’s grit and cleverness shine as he journeys into a circus world packed with quirky characters, boxing bruin bears, and hidden dangers. The book is high on action and suspense and promises twists at every turn.
