The Death Kiss - St. Denis Madelon

An odd, pulsating trail of murders and sudden deaths takes place with fiendish cunning and regularity, right under the nose of Inspector Fisk of the Homicide Bureau. Sidney Traherne, the Inspector's best friend, follows the ruthless criminal, the Panther, through the labyrinth of a magnificent office building, elaborate penthouses, and the secret passages of a strange exotic night club. A double life must be exposed in order to unmask the murderer. The Death Kiss was first published in 1932.
