Unsettling!
Bought this for my husband to replace the dog eared copy on our shelves! For some odd reason, he reads it once a year! Very dated dialogue now of course but probably one of Dennis Wheatley's best known. Duc de Richlieu attempts to rescue a friend who has become embroiled in the nasty world of black magic. A very visual book. Needs a leap of the imagination to accept the plot but it's a good read, perhaps not late at night though if you live alone!
