Synopsis

The author of the Fu-Manchu novels offers tales of chivalry, adventure, and derring-do in this 1916 story collection.   Honored with a Victoria Cross and a Distinguished Service Order, Capt. Bernard O’Hagan prizes valor above all. A man of quick wit and short temper—he wastes no time challenging any offense—and backing up those challenges with his legendary skills as a fighter. Luckily for the good people of London, O’Hagan is on the side of justice.   This volume follows the eccentric nobleman through his various adventures, from foiling a plot for blackmail to ridding a young lady of an unwanted suitor. The Exploits of Captain O’Hagan includes the stories “He Patronises Pamela,” “He Clears the Course for True Love,” “He Meets the Leopard Lady,” “He Buries an Old Love,” “He Deals with Don Juan,” and “He Honours the Grand Duke.”
