Frank L Packard was an early 20th century Canadian author. Packard worked for the Canadian railroad as a civil engineer. He used his knowledge and experiences to write a series of mystery novels. He often wrote about the character Jimmie Dale. The Miracle Man was written in 1914. The story begins at night on the streets of the Bowery. "He was a misshapen thing, bulking a black blotch in the night at the entrance of the dark alleyway--like some lurking creature in its lair. He neither stood, nor kneeled, nor sat--no single word would describe his posture--he combined all three in a sort of repulsive, formless heap."
