The cover, by Ogden Whitney, captures the story’s eerie mood in stark, expressive lines.

A mysterious black hearse prowls London's foggy streets in search of its next victim—but Inspector Ronald Kirk of Scotland Yard discovers the grim carriage conceals a far darker revenge than mere grave-robbing. When a young woman named Gaye Kaily stumbles into Kirk's investigation after a harrowing encounter with the hearse's skeletal operator, the Inspector must unravel the twisted history of a family feud and a man transformed by unspeakable cruelty. Kirk devises a dangerous trap, but the hunt through London's shadowed alleyways will test whether justice can outrun vengeance.
