Paul Harvey PI and British Empire political consultant, chats in his office with pal Knox. Colonel Juan Menendez shows them a bat wing someone left for him, and claims someone, seen only as a shadow, watches him. Harvey is plunged into a world of voodoo, vampires and murder, from the creator of super-villain Dr Fu Manchu.
Sax Rohmer, better known as the creator of Fu Manchu, has a cracking good yarn in this tale of the American detective who is asked to unravel a voodoo mystery threatening Colonel Menendez. Traveling to Menendez's home in England, the plot just keeps getting thicker as we meet the members of his household, suspicious neighbors, and see signs of the bat everywhere we turn.
