Doc Savage by Lester Dent
Why did a desperate man shave his head before visiting Doc Savage headquarters, only to be struck down, his pulsing brain turned to inert stone? What sinister secret did his strange slaying silence? And how was a lizard-green shadow resembling Medusa branded on Doc's office wall? These are only some of the questions confronting the Man of Bronze as he pursues a grisly trail of petrified corpses to post-Prohibition Chicago, whose criminal underworld is being terrorized by a serpent-haired demon engaged in a seemingly senseless slaughter spree whose ultimate target will shake Doc Savage's men to their core. Suspects are many, clues baffling. Death and danger lurks everywhere they turn--symbolized by the silhouette of a faceless Gorgon. From the concrete canyons of Manhattan to the coal fields of Illinois, Doc Savage tracks a phantom fiend the likes of which he has never before hunted. Or is he the one being hunted?Lester Dent developed the pulp hero Doc Savage in 1933 and went on to write more than 180 novels about him. Dent also contributed to the famous pulp Black Mask, which also included Raymond Chandler and Dashiell Hammett, as well as writing the hardboiled Chance Malloy crime books for Doubleday and scripting the Scotland Yard radio play.
