"Somewhere in the foul depths of the Paris underworld was the headquarters of La Tete de Mort, mysterious chief of an international gang whose tentacles reached across the Atlantic, into the high banking circles of Wall Street, into the diplomatic offices of Washington. Those who disobeyed the commands of this sinister gang leader always died. So dreaed was he that even his name was never spoken above a whisper. Washington called in steely, suave Don Everhard to track down the unknown gangster. And Don, to whom danger was like a stimulating cocktail, set out after this relentless enemy of society--a quest from which no other representative of law and order had ever returned alive.
