Who is the Black Dragon?
It's 1936, and strange things are afoot. A ghost ship is towed into Honolulu harbor. Baron Franz de Rothburg, famed explorer and New York playboy, is missing in the Himalayas. And mysterious men in black are on the prowl, turning all who stand in their way into clouds of dark smoke.
Behind it all, amidst the gentle snows of a fabled land, lurks a villain poised to conquer the world.
Pulp fiction writer Sid Friedman doesn't look like your typical hero. With his lopsided bow-tie and coke-bottle glasses, Sid's only claim to fame is writing stories for "Weird Excitement" magazine. But when a chance encounter and a mysterious artifact draw him into the the Black Dragon's web, Sid must lead a ragtag band of adventurers on a chase from New York City to the far ends of the earth.
Can Sid, a wealthy heiress, a detective, a nurse, two scientists, and a chauffeur really stand alone against the greatest peril since Fu Manchu? Will they discover secret of the Black Dragon before it's too late? And who will live to tell the tale?
"Dragon in the Snow" brings back the pulp thrills and chills of yesteryear with a dash of sci-fi and a solid dose of humor.
