The Man in the Twilight (Classic Reprint) - Tapa blanda

Excerpt from The Man in the Twilight

They sat squam gazing into each other's eyes. Bat Harker had only one mood to express. It was a mood that suggested determination to fight to a finish, to fight with the last ounce of strength, the last gasp of breath. He was sitting at the desk, opposite his friend and employer, Leslie Standing, and his small grey eyes were shining coldly under his shaggy, black brows. His broad shoulders were squared aggressively.

There was far less display in the eyes of Leslie Stand ing. They were wide with a deep pre-occupation. But then Standing was of very different type. His pale face, his longish black hair, brushed straight back from an abnormally high forehead, suggested the face Of a student, even a priest. Harker was something of the roused bull-dog, strong, rugged, furious; a product Of earth's rough places.
