Odd Numbers: Being Further Chronicles Of Shorty McCabe is a novel written by the American author Sewell Ford and first published in 1918. The book is a sequel to Ford?s earlier work, Shorty McCabe, which introduced the character of Shorty McCabe, a former prizefighter who has become a successful businessman in New York City. In this book, Shorty finds himself caught up in a series of bizarre and humorous adventures, including a scheme to corner the market in a rare mineral, a run-in with a gang of counterfeiters, and a wild chase through the streets of New York in pursuit of a stolen painting. Along the way, he is aided by his loyal sidekick, the journalist Max Karg, and his beautiful and resourceful wife, Maggie. The book is written in a humorous and fast-paced style, with plenty of witty dialogue and clever plot twists.
