Mongoose

In “The Mongoose”, by Johnston McCulley, a veangful hero goes after crooks who drove his father to his death. He’s joined by his sister, who works her way into the crooks organization, setting things up for The Mongoose to strike. It’s not clear how many crooks the two need to go after, so the series ended after nine stories without a clear resolution.
