SEXTON BLAKE: THE COMPLETE DR. SATIRA, VOLUME 1: Blakiana Collectors' Series

Doctor Satira! The most murderous, evil, and unrelenting villain that Sexton Blake ever faced! Now, for the first time ever, all the Dr. Satira stories are collected together, in three omnibus editions, charting Blake’s terrible battle with the villainous mastermind! Written by Robert Murray, the man responsible for the Criminals’ Confederation (the longest-running story in Sexton Blake’s phenomenal publishing history), Dr. Satira tore through the detective’s “Golden Age”—the 1920s—leaving a trail of destruction and corpses behind him, enthralling young and old readers alike with his wicked schemes and narrow escapes. In this, the first LORD OF THE APE-MEN, in which Sexton Blake’s friends Dirk Dolland and John Fade inadvertently touch a match to the fuse, igniting a crime wave that rocks London to its foundations! THE MYSTERY OF THE MASKED MAGICIAN, in which it is revealed how Dr. Satira entered the country from his hidden Tibetan stronghold, bringing with him a remarkable and deadly ape-man! FROM INFORMATION RECEIVED!, in which Sexton Blake, Tinker, and Inspector Coutts are set on the villain’s trail! And THE QUEST OF THE LIMPING MAN, in which Dr. Satira makes a desperate get-away and finds himself the heir to a fortune!
