Barrier City, an isolated mining centre, where 'the law is what you make it', was quiet enough when Delaney arrived at the house in Argent Street. Twenty minutes later Rennie was dead, Delaney wounded, and Idris missing. From then on Delaney found himself in a menacing tangle, threatened by a mysterious and deadly force, with Kathy beside him and the alluring Mrs. Cortiss pressing him. When Delaney finds Idris dead in a low hotel, and the White Angel breathing vengeance, it takes all he has to save Kathy, keep alive, and battle his way out. Bant Singer's latest never misses a beat.
