'A baleful game of blind man's buff engages Ian Kane, a coincidental witness to the evidence of murder who then loses his eyesight in an accident and becomes the helpless target of his pursuant. His sullen fears and morbid fantasies become real when he is moved from the hospital to a rest home, loses his nurse en route, and is then the prisoner of his enemies. His escape, in bandages, is painful and almost helpless until he removes them, regains his vision and finally his freedom...'

'Sudden, violent death enshrouded the island port of Marapai. The kind of death known only to voodoo cults and savages. On this island Europeans lost their civilization, their innocence–and their sanity. And famed anthropologist David Warwick lost his life. Rumors whispered suicide. But the rumors were lies. Everyone lied to haunted Emma Warwick, who suspected murder and set out to trap a killer–only to discover the very roots of terror!'
