The Destroying Angel is a thrilling novel written by Louis Joseph Vance. The book is set in the early 1900s and follows the story of a young man named Michael Lanyard, who is also known as The Lone Wolf. Lanyard is a master thief who has retired from his life of crime and is now living a peaceful life in New York City. However, his past catches up with him when he is approached by a mysterious woman who requests his help in retrieving a stolen item. Lanyard agrees to help, but soon finds himself caught up in a dangerous game of espionage and murder. As he tries to unravel the mystery, he discovers that the stolen item is a deadly poison known as The Destroying Angel that could be used to kill thousands of people. Lanyard must race against time to stop the villains from using the poison and save innocent lives. The Destroying Angel is a fast-paced and suspenseful novel that will keep readers on the edge of their seats until the very end.1912. Vance, American screenwriter, short story writer and novelist, begins The Destroying Angel: Then I'm to understand there's no hope for me? I'm afraid not...Greyerson said reluctantly, sympathy in his eyes. None whatever. The verdict was thus brusquely emphasized by Hartt, one of the two consulting specialists. Having spoken, he glanced at his watch, then at the face of his colleague, Bushnell, who contented himself with a tolerant waggle of his head, apparently meant to imply that the subject of their deliberations really must be reasonable: anybody who willfully insists on footing the measures of life with a defective constitution for a partner has no logical excuse for being reluctant to pay the Piper.
