Sexton Blake: Rogues and Rebels (The Teed Files #13)

Synopsis:
“Dr. Huxton Rymer and Hammerton Palmer—together in London! Now, I wonder what it means? From what I know of these two adventurers, I'll wager they’re not here for mere amusement. If they have joined forces, then it can be for no good purpose.” ~ Yvonne Cartier, The Blue God, 1917

Deep in the mountains of North Borneo, a remote tribe guards the Batara Nilam—the Blue God, a sacred idol carved from a single, gigantic sapphire. When the idol is stolen, threatening a bloody tribal uprising, Sexton Blake is enlisted to recover it—only to find himself matching wits with Dr. Huxton Rymer, Hammerton Palmer, and a ruthless Chinese cartel known as the Hoo Feng Tong. This epic adventure was the 1916 Christmas double number, and the last of Teed’s celebrated holiday tales for several years.

Crime, of course, knows no borders—and when one case is solved, another begins. In The Case of the Missing Princess, Tinker steps into the spotlight, racing to rescue Princess Natalia of Ramalia from a forced marriage. A Corner in Vanilla whisks Blake and Mademoiselle Yvonne to the heat and danger of Mexico, where the detective finds himself in the wholly unexpected company of the legendary revolutionary Pancho Villa. A South Seas pleasure cruise aboard Yvonne’s yacht turns treacherous in The Sunken Schooner, as Blake is drawn into a desperate race against an old enemy for hidden loot. Finally, The Broken Span take Blake and Tinker to Canada, where a determined young man named Jim Potter sets out to destroy the corrupt syndicate that brought ruin upon his family.

This is the thirteenth anthology that collects George Hamilton Teed’s most popular works from 1913 to 1917. Each edition includes all of the original illustrations! Enjoy!
