CANRBY looked up. The threatening face of HELL'S KITCHEN, an old mansion high on the cliff top, overhanging the Pacific's treacherous waves, loomed down on him. All those long hours spent on the firing range and unarmed combat would certainly not go to waste now.

Ever since CARNBY was ALONE IN THE DARK in DERCETO, his colleagues have started calling him "Supernatural Private Eye". The saga continues!

Christmas Eve 1924, CARNBY's thoughts are with poor little GRACE, an innocent 8-year old child recently kidnapped by a gang of bootleggers. Come what may, he has to save her from the evil clutches of ONE EYED JACK.

Mazes, trap doors, secret passageways, deadly gangsters, blood-thirsty pirates, ghost ships, ruthless smugglers... These kind of encounters can be so fatal when you're alone,

Esward CARNBY erhob die Augen zu HELL'S KITCHEN, welches mit seinen imposanten Mauern die Felswand überragte, an der sich die Brandung unermüdlich brach. Im Laufe seiner Erkundung würde sich sein langes, hartes Training im Nahkampf und im Umgang mit Feuerwaffen sicher bezahlt machen.

Seit dem Fall DERCETO nennen ihn seine Kollegen nicht zu Unrecht „Detektiv des Unergründlichen“

Aber in dieser vorweihnachtlichen Zeit dachte CARNBY zuallererst an GRACE, dem achtjährigen Mädchen, das von einer Schmugglergang entführt wurde. Es galt, sie um jeden Preis aus den Klauen des unerbittlichen ONE EYED JACK zu befreien.

Irrgärten, Falltüren, Geheimgänge, Geisterschiff, gemeine Gangster, gewissenlose Schieber, blutrünstige Piraten... Solche unliebsamen Begegnungen können einem leicht zum Verhängnis werden, besonders wenn man allein ist.
