BURN WITCH, BURN! is the incredible tale of an eminent brain specialist who is called upon to attend a strange case. A case in which a racketeer is the central figure, and there appears a mysterious Madame Mandilip, doll shop owner. The doctor has many opportunities to examine patients who suddenly die, leaving no trace of poison, drugs, hypodermics, punctures, wounds or bruises.

How can such things be? Is there a power of the mind which can reach out of thin air to kill? From page to page the nightmare figure of Madame Mandilip grows more horrible and deadly until she spreads like a menacing shadow across the lives of the doctor and his friends.

The plot is fresh, logical, and completely startling. Here the reader can try his own hand at detecting. There are no false clues, misleading statements, or blind alleys. It is all open, step by step the reader is led to the weird but inevitable climax. This is a story of sorcery and witchcraft--but told so skillfully that one is ready to believe that such things can be, even in this twentieth century of ours.
