There was only one clue to the bloody enigma of TAZ - the illegible, dying scrawl of a horribly mutilated sailor. What was the message he had so desperately tried to deliver? Why had sizzling acid been forced into his mouth? What secret had the dead man unraveled about the flamboyant and brutal Captain Flamingo? Held captive aboard a tramp steamer, The Man Of Bronze and his bold allies wrestle with the death riddle of TAZ.
