Summary | "Mask of Death" by Paul Ernst is a work of crime fiction with a supernatural twist, written in the mid-20th century. The book presents a chilling narrative centered around a mysterious criminal who calls himself Doctor Satan, and the horrors he unleashes on unsuspecting victims in the summer resort town of Blue Bay. It captures the essence of classic detective stories mixed with elements of the weird and uncanny. The story begins with the formal opening night of the luxurious Blue Bay resort, where guests are enchanted by the atmosphere. However, the festivities are soon disrupted when Mathew Weems, a wealthy guest, mysteriously becomes paralyzed mid-drink, an incident predicted by a threatening note from Doctor Satan. As investigations unfold, it becomes clear that Weems is just the first victim of a bizarre condition that strikes others later on, freezing them in time. A desperate race ensues as the resort’s officials grapple with the sinister forces at play, while a detective named Ascott Keane works to uncover the truth behind the strange occurrences. Ultimately, the narrative weaves a tension-filled plot of extortion, supernatural abilities, and the quest to stop a formidable enemy before more lives are destroyed.
