Winged Blackmail- Jack London

A mysterious story in which Peter Winn receives a letter, delivered to his country house, demanding money. The theme, which is fear can be manipulative, takes place when Peter receives a third letter from the pigeon fancier and both his sisters house and part of his country house get destroyed. in the end, Peter Winn's son goes out in his monoplane and flies over shores, trees, and hills to get to the pigeon fanciers home. Emma Doster

Winged Blackmail- Jack London

In this anomalous fiction, a man is blackmailed by an anonymous person who sends their threats via carrier pigeon. In early 1900s San Francisco, the pertinacious Peter Winn garners a pigeon with a eldritch message demanding a few thousand dollars, he stubbornly declines giving the person the money.When he is about to give up and send the money due to the left wing of his country home and his sister’s home being blown up, his son steps in and follows the carrier pigeon to find it’s sender. - Charleigh Niedrist
