Count Petofi is seriously injured.
Synopsis[]
- Collinwood before the turn of the century. On this night a time of terror has temporarily ended for Quentin Collins. He has outwitted the infamous Count Petofi. He has transferred the minds of both men back to their rightful bodies. Now by means of a deception, Quentin has set in motion a plot that may mean the final destruction of Petofi.
Petofi is seriously injured in Aristede's attack. When Aristede learns the truth about the identity of his victim, he vows to kill Quentin; Petofi sends Charles Tate to stop Aristede, because he still has plans for Quentin’s body. Petofi recalls his first meeting with Aristede, while he was a fugitive after killing prison master Garth Blackwood. Petofi makes Charles draw Garth Blackwood as a means to hunt down Aristede and kill him.
