Arron Day is a Black Soldier-Of-Fortune who travels the world in pursuit of his craft in the 1930's. This character - along with Derrick Ferguson's Dillon - are among the few (published) black pulp fiction characters that you can designate "globe trotting adventurers".
This BlacJack adventure ("BlackJack" is the codename Arron has learned to accept and demand when on the job) takes the mercenary to Scotland where his client - a nasty land baron named Laird Kilmore- wants Arron to protect what remains of his family from an unseen curse in a land where every resident wants him and his family dead. There are tinges of the super natural in this high octane that shows Arron that there are things worse than curses and monsters lurking around every corner.
A nice, quick, read that has elements of "Hound of the Baskervilles", "The Maltese Falcon", and "Raiders of the Lost Ark" that I think others will find enjoyable especially those into globe trotting adventure, quick fists and quicker guns type of tales. Also, there's a bonus short story set in Blackjack's past that is more of a straight forward fists, underworld thugs and back alleys yet enjoyable just the same.
