The Black Spot

One by one the names on a “death list” of super-rich Wall Street financiers are being crossed off. The men are murdered in an extremely bizarre fashion — a perfectly round core of dark matter is found penetrating their hearts, the blood in their bodies turned inky black. Doc Savage is asked for help by the first listed millionaire, arriving too late to save him. Doc works to protect the other intended victims but finds himself a target of notorious gang leader “Jingles” Sporado and his small army of goons. Are mobsters behind the Black Spot killings? If so, why were stacks of cash and other valuables always left at the crime scene? Until he can unlock the secret of the Black Spot and devise a countermeasure, Doc deliberately keeps his five assistants out of danger by ordering them on a false mission.
