The Oakdale Affair - Edgar Rice Burroughs

Edgar Rice Burroughs, a native of the United States, wrote a brief contemporary mystery called The Oakdale Affair. The Mucker (1914-1916) is a partial sequel to Bridge and the Oskaloosa Kid, which was written in 1917 under the working title of the same title. In 1919, it was made into a silent movie starring Evelyn Greeley. In the earlier piece, Bridge, the protagonist, was a supporting figure. In March 1918, Blue Book Magazine published it for the first time. In The Oakdale Affair and The Rider, published by Edgar Rice Burroughs, Inc. in February 1937 and then reprinted by Grosset & Dunlap in 1937, 1938, and 1940, it was first published alongside the unrelated story "The Rider". The novella was initially published independently as a paperback by Ace Books in July 1974. Later hardback copies were published by Ameron and Buccaneer (1977); a later paperback edition was published by Charter (1979). The last 174 lines of the magazine version's original ending are left out of the majority of versions, although the Buccaneer and Charter editions include it again. A robber steals the daughter of bank president Jonas Prim, Abigail's possessions, as well as the clothing of a servant, from Prim's residence in Oakdale.
