Sexton Blake's Allies cover

As brilliant as Sherlock Holmes. As daring as James Bond. Sexton Blake, the adventuring detective, is back again!

Sexton Blake does not work alone: his adventures are filled with everyone from reporters to adventurers, private detectives to criminals – and lovers! Three classic stories, collected together in one volume for the first time.SPIES, PRIVATE EYES AND DANGEROUS WOMEN

Every hero has allies; men and women of great ability and character, drawn into their orbit by circumstance and adventure. This was never truer than for Sexton Blake, Britain’s greatest detective

From the splendour of the Orient Express to the quite countryside of the Chilterns and the vast Australian outback, Sexton’s allies battled the worst criminals of their age.

James ‘Granite’ Grant, The King’s Spy, steps in to save the Crown Jewels. Ruff Hanson, the dynamic American Gunsmith teams up with Splash Page, ace reporter, to investigate a mysterious Ghostmobile in Buckinghamshire, while the formidable Mademoiselle Yvonne Cartier seeks vengeance Down Under, in a fight not just for justice, but her own future.
