The Deadly Deadly Art Author:Gilbert A Ralston c1974. — "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... more » 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 tough and determined. Mostly, he's relentless...a man who can follow a lead with cunning and presistence. A trail of murder brings him into the lives of Marten's victims and associates...and to a final reckoning."--Back cover.
"A tough, New York City lawman hungs for a brutal killer...a man obsessed by a lust for murder and a taste for beauty"--Cover.« less
