The Spider #48 Audiobook
Machine Guns Over the White House
by Norvell W. Page writing as Grant Stockbridge
Read by Nick Santa Maria
Before the horrified eyes of the Senate's jammed galleries, that revered Senator died by his own hand. And Richard Wentworth, who had reached Washington in response to the newspaper agony column's personal, “In the name of democratic humanity, come to Washington before September 9...” knew that this marked only the beginning of a yogi-ridden dictator's reign. Behind that welter of machine guns and storm troops moved the Cobra, striking at the nation's very chief — and the Spider was face to face with the strangest battle ever fought by man!
For ten grim years, the Spider battled the underworld, imprinting his scarlet seal on the bodies of the criminals he slew. No one knew his name. His face was unknown. Pursued by the police, sought by the mob, the Master of Men crushed crime with a blazing intensity never witnessed before or since. Now he's back with a vengeance in a new series of audiobooks retelling his pulp-pounding exploits, as chronicled by Norvell W. Page, writing as Grant Stockbridge.
Page penned Machine Guns Over the White House in which he pulled out all the stops. What does the suicide of a United States Senator, a sinister schemer calling himself the Cobra, and a weird Hindu cult have in common? Only Richard Wentworth, called to the nation’s capital by a mysterious newspaper notice directed to his arachnid alter ego, suspects a link.
Before the gunsmoke clears, the Spider will have blazed a battle trail from the Capitol Building to the White House, to foil a madman’s coup intended to snuff out the life of the President!
