The Moon is Red

Florida, for all its wealth and sunshine, lay under a shadow - the long shadow of murder. Who or what was responsible for the deaths of two women, savage reminders of identical killings elsewhere? In each case the crime appeared motiveless and committed by other than human agency. With such handicaps, Ryder of Scotland Yard found the problem a baffling one. Nor were the players in this strange drama any less complex. An internationally renowned actor whose past was a secret he hated to reveal, a young Jamaican millionaire with Casanova tendencies, the lovely Laurel Wilding, and above all, Goliath, as treacherous as the swamp in which he roamed - all combined to make his task a hopeless one. When the end came, it was more terrifying and startling than Ryder had imagined in his wildest moments. For the thing which his skill and patience had unearthed could just not be believed. Once again Sax Rohmer, the creator of the infamous Dr. Fu Manchu and the notorious Sumuru, grips the readers with a macabre tale of mystery and imagination.
