Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. "The Wire Devils" and "Two Stolen Idols" are two gripping pulp thrillers that showcase Frank L. Packard's mastery of suspense and criminal intrigue. In "The Wire Devils," readers are plunged into a world of sophisticated crime and master thieves, where a secret organization uses coded messages and daring heists to outmaneuver the authorities.
