Deep-hidden in evil, Satan's Suicide Club sat in council-and men died. What dreadful force drove these men, leaders of society with everything to live for, to end their lives at the behest of that sinister being who sardonically called himself Professor Mephisto? And why did men and women suffer the tortures of the damned rather than defy this mysterious being? Richard Wentworth once more assumes the cloak of the Spider to free these lost ones from a living hell and a disgraceful death-and steps into the jaws of a devil's trap that casts his life among the lives in pawn!
