A new God of Crime terrorizes the world in 1945, beyond the reach of Scotland Yard or the FBI. A pandemic of crime sweeps across Europe and the Americas, leaving no clues and only a name whispered within the criminal underground: Dr. Cuba.

Inspector Heiner Thumann must discover if this "Dr. Cuba" is a man or a criminal organization while demystifying the seemingly supernatural aspects of the crimes. He enlists the help of a young Chilean translator, Ximena, and the haggard swamp crone Madame Blavatsky, as he closes in on the Invisible Devil.

At the same time, a mysterious figure known only as The Homunculus sets New York's Chinatown ablaze in search of a smuggler ship to sail southward, towards an eventual confrontation with both Thumann and Dr. Cuba.

Based on the pulps of the 1940s and the German expressionist cinema of the 1920s to 1930s, DR. CUBA takes its place alongside crime classics like FANTOMAS and DR. MABUSE. Fans of crime fiction, film noir, silent horror films, and Lovecraftian horror will all find something to enjoy in this novel series.
