Mouthpiece: Golden Age Stories

Written by L. Ron Hubbard

Narrated by R.F. Daley, Jock Ellis, Edoardo Ballerini and 4 more

Imagine that your father is one of New York City's top gangsters, and that you want nothing to do with him or his criminal empire. Now imagine he's been murdered ... and the only person who gives a damn is you. Meet Mat Lawrence, a stand-up guy—who's got one thing on his mind: revenge.

The last place Mat wants to go is back to New York, but that's where the killers are, and he won't stop until they're dead ... or he is. And there's only one man who can help him track them down: his father's criminal attorney—the Mouthpiece.

But there's more than a desire for revenge at play in this deadly game. When Mat's old man went down, a million dollars went missing. Put it all together—a cold-blooded murder and a cool million gone—and it's a pretty good bet that the one thing Mat is sure to find is some serious heat.

Also includes the tales of mystery, Flame City, the story of one man's harrowing attempt to save his father and the city from a serial arsonist; Calling Squad Cars!, in which a police dispatcher goes to extraordinary lengths to bring down a gang of bank robbers after he is accused of working with them; and Grease Spot, the story of a former race car driver, now the owner of a wrecking company, who plays fast and loose with the police ... and may have to pay for it.

L. Ron Hubbard

With 19 New York Times bestsellers and more than 350 million copies of his works in circulation, L. Ron Hubbard is among the most enduring and widely read authors of our time. As a leading light of American Pulp Fiction through the 1930s and '40s, he is further among the most influential authors of the modern age. Indeed, from Ray Bradbury to Stephen King, there is scarcely a master of imaginative tales who has not paid tribute to L. Ron Hubbard. Then too, of course, there is all L. Ron Hubbard represents as the Founder of Dianetics and Scientology and thus the only major religion born in the 20th century.
