He does escape, but is killed back in England upon his arrival. Since he is a friend and confident of Sexton Blake, there is reason enough for the detective to pursue. The inscrutable Orientals first kidnap Tinker and then Sir George's daughter. Their torture brings Blake to maddened heights of risk.

Autorenporträt
Last week's adventure, "The Affair of the Patagonian Devil," showed how Mademoiselle Yvonne began her career as a detective-consultant. This week's tells how she continued it. Sexton Blake and Tinker are once more to the fore, and the author has skilfully spun an ingenious yarn wherein the mysterious glamour of the East is blended with the equally adventurous West. All lovers of Mademoiselle Yvonne will appreciate this story.
