Their business is death and it is Nick Carter's job to stop them!

George Gross Cover
A League of Blood!
From a bizarre death camp in Java to the teeming streets of Djakarta. From a Beirut prison cell to the glittering casinos of Europe. Nick Carter "Killmaster" tracks the leader of the New Alliance, whose business is death and whose goal is the extermination of millions. The Pan-Arab Protection Society and The Black Dragon Society have joined forces with The Butcher Boy of Belsen in a desperate struggle to strangle the world economy. Two beautiful young women are mercilessly killed, Arab oil sheiks are mysteriously slain, with the weapons of Nick Carter. As a fierce nationalist Japanese plots a vendetta against Nick. One false step and a tidal wave of hate will be unleashed against the world!

Nicole Cara, international movie sex symbol, appears on the Riviera. But she died in a plane crash years ago. Who was the women with the dead girl's face, speaking in a corpse's voice? Nick Carter's job is to find out, if he can stay alive long enough. Billions of dollars are invested in eliminating him. A brilliant scheme was at work to steal the world's gold and cripple the economy. Nicole Cara, brought back from the dead, was only the first clue to a crazed espionage plot that stretched from the luxurious beaches of the Riviera to the sordid waterfront of New York, right into the nerve center of Chinese Intelligence!
