The Phantom in the Rainbow (The Argosy Library)

When Edmond Fletcher, broker’s clerk, stepped into a waiting limousine, he entered the most bewildering and fascinating drama that was ever staged. Innocently enough he supplants and masquerades as America’s “Money Prince,” Sigmond Van Mortimer. But stark horror besets his path when Fletcher learns the true maniacal character of the money master whose identity he has taken. Blindly struggling against ghastly terrors and perverted genius the young ex-broker’s clerk is tortured, almost to death, by the relentless vengeance of the “Phantom.” All the wealth and all the power at his command are helpless in combatting the “Phantom’s” fiendishness. Risking life and sanity, Fletcher makes one last, desperate attempt to vanquish his spectral enemy in an effort to attain happiness. Does he succeed? Though you’re startled by the story itself, you’ll be electrified by its spectacular outcome.
