Pick Up A Pulp [48]: DEVIL, DEVIL by Michael Avallone

A coven devoted to Satan and blood sacrifice has been targeting petite women in New York city to satisfy the Dark Lords eternal craving. 

The attractive victim's dismembered heads soon draw the attention of the police (thankfully) but not until their number reaches 5.

It takes adventurer and professional paranormal detective, Phillip St. George, to piece together the puzzle, infiltrate the coven, seduce the alluring beautiful Sister Sorrow and put an end to the latest bloody chapter plaguing the unsuspecting populace. 

The third (or second, depending on which paperback edition you're reading) Satan Sleuth novel by pulp hack Michael Avallone (who is known to have in-excess of 19 known author aliases) is a one sitting read which can best be coined as junk food for the brain. The plot, whilst interesting, is predictable (due to St. George's inhuman abilities; strength, intellect, and looks) and boarders on being cringe-worthy but you expect that with these kind of books.

My rating: 2/5 stars.
