Publisher's Synopsis
Sexton Blake, the greatest of all detectives, faced many eccentric and dangerous villains during his long career, but few were as strange and ruthless as Zenith the Albino. A Romanian prince, robbed of his position by the march of history; an outcast; an opium addict; in his own view-a monstrosity, Zenith lived only for the thrills provided by crime, by transgressions against a society that spurned him.To those generations of readers who have enjoyed the thousands of Sexton Blake stories, Zenith was-and remains-a great favourite. For Michael Moorcock, he provided the inspiration for Elric of Melniboné.Now, for the first time ever, all the Blake versus Zenith yarns are being collected together; the tiny and error-ridden print of the original issues being corrected and transcribed for reading in comfort on your Kindle.In addition, Blake expert Mark Hodder has added numerous footnotes and extra material to clarify dated or obscure terms, to explore Zenith and Blake's backgrounds, and to familiarise new readers with the incredible world of Sexton Blake and his authors.In this, the previously unavailable seventh volume, four stories from 1923 are collected: "ON SECRET SERVICE!""THE CASE OF THE CRIMSON CURTAIN""PLAGUE!"and"X-INE; OR, THE CASE OF THE GREEN CRYSTALS."
