The Adventures of Devil Doone #11

In the mist-shrouded highlands, Devil Jim Doone teams up with Sir George Mordaunt to track down the missing Patrol Leader Brinsley and his men, whose disappearance is linked to a mysterious illness ravaging the local people. When Doone crosses paths with the sinister Ido Nakamura—a former Japanese officer wielding a deadly mold for his own dark ends—he must confront both the treacherous terrain and a ruthless enemy before the mountain’s secrets claim more lives.

Devil Jim Doone pays a visit to his old friend Emu Jones, recovering in the hospital from a gunshot wound sustained during a cattle drive for rancher Pete Mullaly. When Jones reveals he was ambushed by men illegally slaughtering livestock to sell on the black market, Doone takes up the cause—stepping into the role of a butcher himself to infiltrate the underground trade. Now deep in the shadows of the frontier, he must navigate a web of deception with the help of Inspector Frayne and the mysterious black marketeer Gannet.

In "The Crow's Nest," Devil Jim Doone intercepts a young woman on the brink of jumping from a bridge, pulling her back just in time. Later, he learns she’s Carmel Rigby, daughter of a wealthy industrialist, trapped in debt to casino owner Crow Garner—known for preying on the vulnerable. With a high-stakes meeting looming, Doone enlists the help of the charming Bunty St. Clair to pose as Carmel’s friend, setting the stage for a tense game of wits and danger.

In "Star of the North," Devil Jim Doone reunites with his old friend Emu Jones at an airport, only to be drawn into a dangerous mission in Papua, New Guinea, when labor unrest at a remote mine takes a sinister turn. With help from Major Hacking and a lead on a shadowy figure known as the Star of the North, Doone and Emu venture deep into the jungle, where secrets run as deep as the earth itself.
