Sexton Blake Wins.
London: Dent, 1986. 460p. trade pkb. Isbn: 0460024825
Sexton Blake was a company name, appearing in magazines, comic books, novels, movies and anything else that came to hand over a very long span of time.
"Voodoo menace in the West Indies, missing persons in London and a sudden death to the tune of Dvorak's 'Humoresque' are just some of the mysteries that Sexton Blake solves with cool aplomb. Like his close neighbour, Sherlock Holmes, Blake has proved to be one of the most popular figures of detective fiction, and in this collection of stories written by a variety of authors he faces a rogue's gallery of villains, including the opium-smoking Monsieur Zenith the Albino and the infamous crooked surgeon, Dr Huxton Rymer."
