because he asked for more and because there won't be any more
Note—This is the fifth, and in the intention of the author the last, of the Lone Wolf stories. Although in strict sense a sequel it is, like The Lone Wolf, The False Faces, Red Masquerade, and Alias the Lone Wolf, entirely self-contained and able to stand on its own plot.
If anybody else cares . . .
