The Doom Maker

Marcolf was an extraordinary and sinister man.

He claimed the powers of prophecy and often displayed them. Curiously, he never

accepted money for his predictions which always seemed to come true. Instead he

used his powers for the financial gain of others.

One of the beneficiaries was Miss Soolie who

owned a Greenwich Village boarding house. Marcolf had brought her wealth and

she believed implicitly in him. But not so John Perseus, an artist who lived at

Miss Soolie’s house, even though Marcolf had brought John an unexpected sale.

Death struck three times in the boarding house, and although there was no

apparent link between the suicide, the mugging and the heart-attack, John

wondered whether Marcolf knew something about them.

Striking scenes and

explosive action distinguish this exciting story in which mystery and suspense

are grippingly maintained.
