Only
Dead
Ride
Hard,
The
A
tale of
adventure
in
Budapest
in the
days
before
the Red
Terror
was
forced
to give
way to
the
White.
The
necessities
of a
king
demand
high
risk, as
the girl
realized
with
every
jolt of
the car
through
the rain
scourged
night.
But
Denise
Vay,
daughter
of a
line
whose
royalty
was its
life,
hurried
on -- to
a sudden
stop and
a danger
worse
than
death.
For in
the
misty
glow of
a
lantern,
the
toast
for
loveliness
of all
Hungary
drank
from the
gaze of
a
creature
toad-like
in his
venomous
stealth,
ashen-faced
with the
deformity
of his
spirit.
It is
the
first
score in
the
reckoning
between
the girl
and a
man who
had once
suffered
her
imperious
scorn,
the
first
count in
a
struggle
that
tears
Emeralds
of St.
Stephen
from
their
secret
hiding
place,
puts the
trust of
the Vays
to its
final
test,
calls
Andrew
Brull,
American,
to the
service
of the
lady he
loves,
and
turns
the tide
of
revolution
for
those
who ride
hard to
their
doom.
Not
since
"The
Lone
Wolf"
has Mr.
Vance
written
a tale
so
athrill
with
excitement
and
terror,
with
swift,
forceful
characterizations
and
glamorous
romance.

Louis
Joseph

plays
upon the
keyboard
of human
emotions
with a
master
hand,
and his
new
novel
has all

Michael
Lanyard,
the Lone
Wolf,
was a
jackal
reared
in the
brooding
shadows
through
which
slips
the
mysterious
Seine.
The
story
opens
with
Lanyard
as a
boy, a
cub
taught
by pain
and
experience
that the
stroking
of
kindly
hands
was as
naught
compared
with the
fang of
a single
foe.
And so
this
creature
of the
shadows,
in the
beginning
driven
by
hunger,
though
in the
end
stimulated
by pride
in his
art,
prowled
from the
slums of
Paris
into the
very
halls of
the
mighty.
At the
zenith
of his
fame
something
settled
upon the
Lone
Wolf's
heart.
The
hatred
went out
of his
eyes,
the
snarl
died in
his
throat.
In this
story
Louis
Joseph
Vance
discloses
a new
angle of
his
powers.
