A 1920's detective story introducing Paul Harley as the premier private criminal investigator in London. A Colonel Menendez from Cuba hires Harley because he fears his life is in danger.

"OFTEN enough my memory has recaptured that moment in Paul Harley's office, when Harley, myself, and the tall Spaniard stood looking down at the bat wing lying upon the blotting pad."
Sax Rohmer, better known as the creator of Fu Manchu, has a cracking good yarn in this tale of the American
