Bride of the Night

New York: The Macaulay Company. Good in Very Good dj. (c.1930). First Edition. Hardcover. [spine turned, moderate shelfwear, probably an ex-rental library book (business stamp and large marker obliteration on ffep, remnant of removed label on rear fep); jacket has a little paper loss at several corners and top of spine, light soiling]. "Because her father desecrated the altar of an ancient African tribe, an English girl inherits their hatred. The half-white sultan of the tribe, living in magnificent jungle splendor, contrives the exquisite revenge of taking her for his bride. How fate intervenes and how a small band of British soldiers battle with the natives and their hyena-like sultan, make a story that keeps the reader's pulse in constant action." (Got that? If you read this book, your heart will continue beating. Good news!) .
