Christopher Bond was a young man in whose blood the lust for adventure and excitement was insatiable, and his. strange meeting with Professor Tyrell, the famous anthropologist, gave him just the opportunity for which he was looking. The Professor was the victim of a pernicious blackmailer who had in his possession certain private documents, the publication of which would mean absolute ruin to the Professor. With the insolence and light-hearted-ness of youth, Bond undertook to recover the papers and with an optimism that was characteristic of him, set about his delicate task. Wyndham Martyn has written a book in which he has created an atmosphere of tense excitement and prolonged suspense. |
