Number Nine
Creator: Sean Danowski
Characters
Paul Highland
Danny
Miss Reeves
Gray eyes behind a
domino mask, Number Nine is a master of deception, and a man of countless faces
whose own face was not known and never seen by friends, enemies, or the public
at large for he was almost always in disguise. Long ago, after the Great War,
he had established himself as a crime fighter. During the war he had been
assigned to an elite group of airmen, ten men who were sent on a mission behind
enemy lines to France. He was the ninth man, and the only one to survive, but
ten graves were left in France, leading the military to believe all ten had
died. Only one man knew the secret, the officer who had sent them on the
mission, Commander Paul Highland.
Vance is a sharp
dressed man in fedora, pastel tie, pinstriped suit and leather gloves; the brim
of his hat cast a shadow over his face. This was the only name revealed for the
mysterious manhunter.
Paul Highland is now
the assistant district attorney for the great city. He has a deep, commanding
voice.
Danny is a police
desk sergeant, and a spy for Number Nine.
Miss Reeves is Paul
Highland’s secretary.
The NEW YORK HERALD
is the city’s newspaper.
Number Nine uses
coded words to identify himself to Paul Highland with, “One from the grave.”
Highland responds with, “Who is lost to the living.”
Only one novel was
