It is the golden age of the silent movie. But when the heads of corpses start piling up without an explanation, the film industry's charm wavers. And when Francis Elmer disappears and a note signed "The Head Hunter" surfaces, more questions than answers remain. Packed with suspense, tension, and thrills, Edgar Wallace's nail-biting crime novel 'The Avenger' is perfect for whodunnit fans of Agatha Christie's 'Murder on the Orient Express' and 'Death on the River Nile'.-
