The Toff in New York (2014)
“He felt as if he now needed a long sleep, but knew that there was no likelihood that he would get one. He had only to dwell on the things which Cy Day had told him about Dutch Himmy to wake up. These things had the quality of nightmares. It was the kind of situation which had happened before and would happen again, but this was different in a number of ways. In the past, the identity of the criminal had been known; only proof against him was needed. This time, ‘Dutch Himmy’ was simply a name. T...here were even people who believed that he was no more than a name, just a huge hoax invented to fool the police and to make far lesser men tremble.

Many of the crimes of New York were laid at the door of Dutch Himmy; including murder. It was not good even to listen to some of the things that had been done in his name. The girls maltreated and the children corroded with drugs, the men beaten up until they were good for nothing but a mental hospital or a home for cripples.MoreLess
