Miss shumway waves a wand [rare books]

How come a New York reporter like Ross Millan was combing half Mexico looking for old man Shumway's missing daughter? Millan had asked himself the question a

For the shapely blonde he'd seen in the photograph turned out to be a fast-talking lady who packed a punch like a prize- fighter, did a little magic on the side, and just happened to be a dip-a very efficient pickpocket. From the day little Miss Myra Shumway walked into Millan's life, things were never quite the same.
