The Golden Serpent (Revised) by Manning Lee Stokes

A master plot to flood the U.S.economy with millions of counterfeit money

Take a Mexican political party that demands the territorial return of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, and California.

George Gross Cover

Add a Chinese paper factory exporting a fine engraver's five dollar portrait of Abe Lincoln.

 

Stir with a countess who's made a fortune in cosmetics and is running a strange little kingdom deep in the Mexican jungle.

Mix in the CIA and AXE, prickling each other's sensitivities while the nation and the highest men in government are stumped to stop the ruin of the American economy.

Suddenly the meeting between the CIA and Mr Hawk, the ingredients are mixed together into a little pill handed to Nick Carter. The instructions were very clear, straighten things out or swallow the deadly pill.
