A sinister emblem-the scarlet bat-marks each step of a killer's trail in this spellbinding mystery from the golden age of detective fiction. When a series of bizarre murders grips the city, each victim is found with a strange red bat symbol nearby, painted in blood. The symbol is terrifying. The message, unmistakable: someone is delivering vigilante justice... or perhaps something darker.Assigned to the baffling case is Inspector Drek, a sharp-eyed sleuth with a taste for the psychological. As he chases down elusive leads, he finds himself drawn into a deadly game with a mastermind who always seems one step ahead. But the closer he gets, the more the mystery twists and turns-revealing corruption, long-forgotten crimes, and a secret society determined to operate above the law.The Scarlet Bat is a taut, thrilling detective story, dripping with suspense and moral complexity. Fergus Hume delivers a page-turner brimming with macabre imagery, haunting themes, and edge-of-your-seat pacing. If you enjoy crime fiction with gothic undertones and a cerebral detective at the helm, this is your next must-read.The scarlet bat has returned. And it's coming for justice.
