A nickel weekly originally published April 3, 1925, number 1,367 in the popular “Secret Service” series featuring “Old and Young King Brady, Detectives” which started January 27, 1899, and came out like clockwork every Friday for more than two decades—by which time well more than a thousand issues had been published—The Bradys and the Man Next Door; or, The Mystery House on High Street has the Bradys getting involved with a new case while still in the process of finishing a previous one.
Something about the mysterious situation on a Denver residential street intrigues Old King Brady enough to make him accept a case that ends up placing Young King Brady in dire extremities, trapped underground in a fake mine—which of course worries the third partner in the detective firm, Alice Montgomery, who is also Young King Brady’s romantic partner.
At more than 23,000 words, this novella-sized work of pulp fiction, besides being an interesting and fun read, gives the reader a taste of what the masses were reading in the late 19th and early 20th century time period.
