Sexton Blake: Kew and Carlac #2

Synopsis:
“We have all the cards at present. We know what we want, whereas our enemy, Blake, must move in the dark.” ~Professor Francis Kew, His Excellency’s Secret, 1916

The game is afoot, and the stakes have never been higher. Professor Kew and Count Carlac return to match wits with the legendary Sexton Blake in a new collection of nefarious exploits. Across these three adventures, the criminal masterminds weave a relentless web of blackmail, manipulation, and deceit.

Their schemes begin in His Excellency’s Secret, where a South American diplomat is caught in a deadly vice, forced to help the villains locate a legendary lost silver mine.

Next, in The Secret of Draker’s Folly, the villainous duo find a new ally in adventuress Josephine De Castro. Together, they embark on a ruthless hunt for a miser’s treasure that has remained hidden for over a generation.

Finally, The Catspaw proves that no one is safe from Kew’s machinations. The Hon. John Lawless, while recovering from a harrowing mission in Russia, becomes an unwitting pawn. Tricked into orchestrating a prison break for a man who knows the location of a fortune in jewels, Lawless must find a way to clear his name before he becomes the latest victim of Kew’s brilliance.

This is the second of several anthologies chronicling the schemes of Kew and Carlac. Enjoy!
