The Spider and the Sons of Satan — Grant Stockbridge

Who was the strange new Overlord of Crime who had the power to exact tribute from the Underworld's every member? How could he force even the mildest outlaw to slaughter cops on sight? Lovely, mysterious Samantha McDoune, orphaned by murder, trailed a single clue to the heart of Chinatown -- and disappeared. Nita van Sloan followed her -- and vanished. Could Dick Wentworth, under constant police surveillance, speed the Spider to their rescue -- before the entire city fell prey to The Man with the Red Eyes of Fire!
