The deadly, deadly art
Brian Lee Sattler
Assassin, aesthete, voluptuary... he offers his victims to the ancient cat-goddess, Bastet. With the money he earns from his murderous skills, he buys treasures of incomparable beauty. Women are intoxicated by his cold, commanding personality. They yearn to pierce his inner armor. But like a cat, he belongs only to himself. He is aloof, controlled savage - always alone.
Inspector Mack Bennett seems an unlikely match for the cat-man. His character is full of contradictions: he's doleful, rather ordinary, yet touch and determined. Mostly, he's relentless.. a man who can follow a lead with cunning and persistence. A trail of murder brings him to the lives of Marten's victims and associates.. and to a final reckoning.
