His identity hidden behind a mask, the laughing outlaw Zorro defies the tyrant's army. A deadly marksman and a demon swordsman, his flashing blade carves a dreadful brand on the faces of his foes. But to dark-eyed Lolita he brings compelling, passionate--and forbidden--love. THE MARK OF ZORRO, Johnston McCulley's colorful, romantic tale of a California Robin Hood, has been read, seen, and acclaimed by millions.
