Summary

"When Colt City cries out for justice, there's one man who will answer the call ... It's 1941. Jazz and news of Hitler's victories dominate the airwaves. A nation on the verge of war enjoys the calm before the storm. Gangsters rise to power, making money hand over fist with nightclub rackets, arm deals, prostitution, and drugs. Crooked cops grow fat on mob payoffs. Nazi spies seek out occult artifacts on American soil. And a bug-eyed detective known only as the Black Beetle patrols the rooftops. Wielding a ray gun, dual pistols, and his wits, he seeks to make his city safe. When two local mob bosses meet to discuss a truce, a mysterious explosion brings a pub to the ground, killing a majority of Colt City's organized crime in one fell swoop. Who could pull off such a coup, and what danger might that murderous bomber do to Colt City? The Black Beetle is on the case!"--Back cover.
