Houdini’s Jorkins & Co: Developed from The Duffer Detective by David Pitt (aka Herbert Allingham) is now available on Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk
Product Description:
Joe M. Notaro brought Allinghams ‘Houdini’s Schooldays’ into print and now he tackles the not widely known ‘Jorkins & Co’.
‘Jorkins & Co’ [1922-3], was a short story series developed from Allingham’s ‘The Duffer, Detective’, and ascribed to Houdini, the Handcuff King.
Tracking down a surviving copy of Houdini’s ‘Jorkins & Co’ has been elusive, so Joe M. Notaro has taken liberties and updated ‘The Duffer, Detective’, with “Houdini” references; similar to what Allingham did with ‘Houdini’s Schooldays’.
In ‘Jorkins & Co’, Houdini has left his school days and has gone in search of new adventure. He summons his old school friend, Arthur Merlin, to help him rescue an acquaintance called Jorkins, who has mysteriously disappeared.
Joe M. Notaro is a Houdini historian, author, collector, blogger, and expert on his movies and writings. For more info, please visit his website:
