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?

| 0:52.7 | The man in the shadows stammered for a moment, unsure of himself. |
| 0:56.0 | He had thought to ignore the speaker altogether, then rejected the idea out of hand as being too suspicious. |
