Summary "The 'Dock Rats' of New York; Or, The Smuggler Band's Last Stand" by Old Sleuth is a piece of early pulp fiction written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Spencer Vance, a government detective, who finds himself embroiled in the dangerous world of smugglers along the New York coast. As he navigates the treacherous waters of deceit and betrayal, he encounters a mysterious young woman named Renie, who warns him of a deadly trap awaiting him that night. The narrative quickly escalates into a web of intrigue surrounding Renie's past and the sinister plans of her supposed father, Tom Pearce. At the start of the book, we are introduced to Spencer Vance, who is preparing to go out on a yacht under suspicious circumstances when he is suddenly warned by Renie, a beautiful girl clothed in rags, that he faces imminent danger—not from the sea but from those aboard the yacht. Vance learns that he is being targeted because he is a government officer investigating a smuggling operation. In a twist, Renie reveals that she inadvertently betrayed Vance to the smugglers but has come to warn him. This dynamic sets the stage for a series of thrilling encounters with Renie's potential kidnappers, the complexities of her background, and Vance's determination to thwart the smuggling operation, all while navigating the treacherous loyalties intertwined in this underworld.
