The Adventure of the Voodoo Moon: The Complete Cases of the Lady From Hell, Volume 2 (Argosy Library)

Vivian Legrand-the Lady from Hell-is back, and the globe itself trembles at her heels.

In Volume 2 of The Complete Cases of the Lady From Hell, Eugene Thomas gathers the most savage, seductive and ingenious of Vivian's exploits: from glittering gambling rooms and blood-streaked rooftops to jungle rites beneath a plaited moon. An audacious thief, a cold-blooded strategist and a brilliant actress of danger, Vivian moves like a force of nature, pulling Adrian Wylie-her loyal, skeptical chief of staff-into stakes that would break lesser hearts and lesser heads.

Within these pages: a knifing set-up that steals a diamond king's life and fortune; a rooftop heist swapping the Kohinoor Double; a blood-curdling voodoo midnight that becomes a detonating gambit for escape; and a palace coup where death is a bargaining chip and power is the prize. Fast, lush and unrelenting, these are pulp thrillers drenched in tropical heat, urban shadow and the precise cruelty of a woman who never loses the game.

For readers of vintage noir, globe-trotting capers, and unforgettable antiheroes-meet the smartest, most dangerous woman in crime fiction.
