The City Destroyer

by Grant Stockbridge

Richard Wentworth, working once openly with the police forces, cannot uncover the Master who foresees every trap and avoids all suspicion. Will the Spider, that strong champion of oppressed humanity, be able to exact a grim, just penalty from the ruthless City Destroyer?...
