Вся привычная жизнь Эли рушится с того самого момента, когда она очнулась в овраге, девушка не помнит ничего из своего прошлого. Киллеры-неудачники бросили бездыханное тело за городом, понадеявшись на то, что ее съедят собаки. Но не тут-то было, она оказалась достаточно живучей. Отчаянно пытаясь вспомнить и собирая по крупицам картинки, которые иногда всплывают в ее еще не до конца отбитой голове, Эля понимает, что она врач и работает в больнице, пытаясь восстановить по памяти место своей работы, садится на автобус до города и в пути встречает Тимура, от одного взгляда на мужчину кружится голова и хочется затаить дыхание. С этого момента покушения следуют одно за другим, и она чудом остаётся жива. Тимур всегда рядом, он защитит ее, чего бы ему это ни стоило, только с ним она чувствует себя на пике блаженства, любовь и безумие перемешиваются и сливаются в одно целое, каждая ночь пропитана страстью, он, как лютый зверь, забирает всю ее без остатка.

The greatest crime fighter of the forties returns!

In the roaring heart of the crucible, steel is made. In the raging flame of personal tragedy, men are sometimes forged into something more than human.

It was so with Dick Benson. He had been a man. After the dread loss inflicted on him by an inhuman crime ring, he became a machine of vengeance dedicated to the extermination of all other crime rings.

He turned into the person we know now: a figure of ice and steel, more pitiless than both; a mechanism of whipcord and flame; a symbol of destruction to crooks and killers; a terrible, almost impersonal Force, masking chill genius and supernormal power behind a face ever as white and dead as a mask from the grave. Only his pale eyes, like ice in a polar dawn, hint at the deadliness of the scourge the underworld heedlessly invoked against itself when crime’s greed turned the retired adventurer, Richard Henry Benson, into — The Avenger.

RIVER OF ICE

Priceless relics of a lost civilization. Hidden for centuries in a glacier. An ancient manuscript describing an operation which transforms the victim into a robot. Can the Avenger halt the collapse of the modern world once these discoveries have fallen into evil hands?

HOUSE OF DEATH
