The second Red Panda adventure novel, now finally available in audiobook format through Decoder Ring Theatre.
Sinister forces are at work, striking within the very heart of the city's elite with powers that seem otherworldly. Are the attacks random? Simply for profit? Or is an unknown predator hunting our masked heroes themselves? If the mysterious Ajay Shah really does have powers that rival the Red Panda, will even the Terrific Twosome of Toronto be able to resist the might of... The Mind Master?

| 0:00.0 | Chapter 11 Martin Davies stood stock-still in the centre of his tastefully appointed dining-room, |
| 0:08.7 | and stared straight ahead with eyes that burned with a strange fire, and yet did not see. |
| 0:15.4 | It was late, and Davies had sat up long after the servants had retired for the night. |
| 0:20.9 | It was often his custom to do so, and the servants understood that their master did not wish |
| 0:24.9 | them to wait for him. |
| 0:26.9 | He was a wealthy young man, and kept such hours as pleased himself, often preferring the |
| 0:31.1 | quiet of the night. |
| 0:33.3 | The servants would think little of the sound of quiet footfalls upstairs. |

| 1:03.6 | pulsing with a life of its own. The blackness wrapped the walls of Davy's drawing-room, hid the |
| 1:09.8 | light of the fire for many eyes, |

| 1:23.7 | to another being, one that lurked within that pulsing wall of shadows. Two eyes shone forth |
| 1:31.4 | from the black with a light that seemed almost unnatural to those few that had seen it and lived. |
| 1:37.6 | The eyes of Agey Shah. Those eyes now studied the face of Martin Davies. They had met before in the home of Wallace Blake over a very agreeable dinner. Davies had been as charmed as any at that assembly by the utterly disarming Mr. Shaw, and had invited the newcomer to the city to dine with him at his club. Again Shaw was introduced by his new host to many other |
| 2:02.2 | prospects, many more insects for his great web. But there was something about Martin Davies, |
| 2:10.1 | something that Shaw could not be sure of. It had been impossible to search the young man's mind |
