Carpathian Eagle

Detective Inspector Clifford is called to the scene of the latest murder where the victims die from having their hearts cut out with a carved tool. He enlists the help from the author of a book on a 300 year old Carpathian countess who murdered her lovers by the same means. Surely this timid and plain woman couldn’t possibly be the same seductive temptress who murders these men, could she ?
