THE DEATH MASQUE

Tycoon Conrad Mackendale, on the verge of another coup, is doubly threatened by the reappearance of his first wife (he has a second one) whom he had ilked and attempted to kill. Adultery, extortion, kidnapping and murder, and a past seance in a houseful of snakes and spirits keep this busy if nothing else. A British import for an American audience, or an indeterminate fringe benefit for a common market.
