Hogan, who had been eavesdropping behind the door, landed a direct punch to the attacker's face, flattening his nostrils. The impact sent the man back into the room he had just left.

Suddenly a bullet pierced the window and shattered the dresser mirror. Crime-fighter Hogan Ambo dove for cover with his pistol he calls 'Betola' in hand. "You'd better stay where you are. Lie flat on the floor," he ordered Shade Mayfield as more gunfire erupted and bullets showered the room. Roger lay dead in Shade's hotel suite. A bullet had penetrated his heart.
