Satan Has Six Fingers - Paperback

From the moment when Penelope Paget saw the slumped figure in the empty subway train at midnight to the last crashing climax in a drawing room in Rio de Janeiro, she was caught up in a mass of cross currents, misstatements of fact, and bewildering emotional reactions. She had to undertake the delivery to Rio of a small clay elephant, which she concealed in a turban wound around her head. Once arrived in Rio, she found herself sought after by people she had never seen before and almost deliberately kept in the dark by people she thought she knew very well. She heard the legend of Satan's Sixth Finger and she saw a dead man whose body mysteriously disappeared only to be traced by scientific research in a glass factory. A novel with an authentic Brazilian background, written by an authority on our South American neighbor.

Satan Has Six Fingers was published in 1943.
