| Summary | "Black Star's Campaign: A Detective Story" by Johnston McCulley is a novel written in the early 20th century. This story centers around an intricate plot involving the infamous criminal known as the Black Star and Sheriff Kowen, who is determined to apprehend him. The tale unfolds with a backdrop of deception, crime, and a game of cat-and-mouse, as the sheriff deals with the consequences of an earlier raid that unintentionally aided the Black Star's escape from jail. The opening of the novel introduces Sheriff Kowen amidst a brewing crisis when a woman named Miss Blanchard approaches him with concerns about her wayward brother frequenting a gambling house. However, as the conversation progresses, it becomes clear that there is much more to Miss Blanchard than meets the eye, hinting at a potential connection to the Black Star's criminal organization. The narrative quickly escalates when the sheriff mobilizes to raid the gambling den but unwittingly falls into a well-laid trap orchestrated by the Black Star's gang, which ultimately leads to the supercriminal’s daring escape and resurgence, setting the stage for a tense confrontation between law enforcement and the criminal underworld.
