Boston Blackie Stories Around the Opium Lamp Jack Boyle (1881 - 1928) Read by Winston Tharp Running Time:02:40:47 in 3 Audio CDs Boston Blackie had his birth in the imagination of a self confessed “opium eater.” Jack Boyle was a San Francisco newspaper man who became dependent upon the drug to make his deadlines, lost his job, and turned to crime to support his habit. He served several prison terms and while incarcerated in Colorado began writing a series of short stories for the American Magazine based on his experiences. Boston Blackie was a much darker character in these early stories than he became in later incarnations in book, film, radio and television, which dropped his opium dependence. This collection presents the first four Boston Blackie stories to be published, prefaced by an autobiographical piece by Boyle, who wrote them all under the pseudonym “No. 6606,” his prisoner number.Chapter Titles:0 - A Modern Opium Eater1 - The Price of Principle2 - The Story about Dad Morgan3 - Death Cell Visions4 - A Thief’s Daughter All of our audiobooks are Complete and Unabridged (unless otherwise indicated)Our Audiobooks are always read by real people, never by computers.Please Note: These recorded readings are from the author's original works which are in the public domain.
