Bat Wing

Paul Harley, methodical detective of London, expects rational puzzles. He receives instead Colonel Juan Menendez, a Spanish exile trembling with superstitious dread, bearing a bat wing as evidence of forces beyond reason. The Colonel's past in Cuba has awakened something ancient and terrible, and now death has followed him across the Atlantic. Harley must pursue a mystery that defies logic, where enemies may wear human faces but serve darker masters. The novel pulses with fog-shrouded London streets and the exotic horror of Caribbean voodoo, a potent cocktail of detection and the Gothic that made Sax Rohmer famous. This is early pulp at its most atmospheric: the rational world cracking open to reveal the supernatural terror beneath.
