What is "napper"

Usage examples of "napper".

Room 608 was close to an inside fire tower, the route by which Napper would probably come.

It was highly improbable that Napper could have already arrived, unless the fellow had been casing the hotel with a pineapple on his hip, for The Shadow had made a short, quick trip from the Cafe Picaroon.

The door, when it opened, admitted a scrawny figure that reminded The Shadow of Skeet, except that the newcomer, Napper, was more huddled.

The Shadow, meanwhile, took a new stance, half behind Napper, who was faced toward the door.

Afterward, when Napper would be plucked of his bomb, Monte should be in a mood to talk.

THE split-second that Monte took for a side look at Napper was enough to defeat the thrust.

Away from Napper, the cloaked fighter was coming in on Monte from the flank.

But neither would know that he had gone there to meet the actual planter of the bomb that was due to blast soon after, and that both Monte and Napper were intending to steal out by the fire tower!

Desperately excited, Napper looked ready to fling the bomb anyway, as The Shadow wheeled upon him.

Fighting to wrench clear of the shrouding snare, Napper twisted himself further.

Whatever credit Monte could take for finishing The Shadow, it was Napper who had eradicated the evidence.

Anxiously, the con man stared back along the smoke-filled hallway, wondering how Napper had fared.

That slam of the closet door had given Napper a buffer against the explosion, but it was possible that the scrawny bomber would have trouble extricating himself from the wreckage.

In that case, Napper might be in a mood to denounce the pals who had abandoned him.

After that, there were footsteps, uncertain ones, indicating that Napper was picking his way through wreckage between the closet and the hallway door.
