Everyone thought that the Lord of Terror known as Fantômas had perished aboard the Titanic in April 1912, but they were wrong! Fantômas returns in 1917 New York, on the eve of America entering the Great War. His diabolical plot: to capture Professor Harrington, the only man to know the secret of Eldorado and gold-making. His goal: to rule the New World. His method: to spread terror! The only man who stands in his way: Detective Frederick Dickson. This original Fantômas novel by David White is inspired from the long-lost 1920 American Fantômas serial written by Edward Sedwick & George Eshenfelder for the Fox Film Corporation. It is illustrated with 50 rare stills and advertising art from the serial.
