Publisher's Synopsis
Of the very many enemies faced by Sexton Blake, the detective, over his long career, Monsieur Zenith the Albino was among the most popular ... and most deadly. A loner and outsider, he was an aristocrat at a time when, in the wake of the First World War, the aristocracy was fast becoming irrelevant, and for no other reason than to fight his alienation and ennui, he committed crimes that were absolutely astounding in their audacity. Created by Anthony Skene and written in a terse, dynamic style, Zenith enthralled readers for two decades before he, along with his nemesis, Sexton Blake, faded from the limelight. Michael Moorcock is among those upon whom Zenith made a lasting impression, and his doomed swordsman, Elric of Melniboné, was directly inspired by him. For many years, the Zenith stories have been out of print and exceedingly difficult to find. Now, however, Blake enthusiast and author Mark Hodder is mining his collection to make all of Zenith's encounters with Sexton Blake available for Kindle. In THE COMPLETE ZENITH, the fantastic yarns will be released in chronological order complete with their original illustrations, introductory material and annotations. Here, in the first volume, the initial four tales are collected: A DUEL TO THE DEATH, THE TENTH CASE, THE CASE OF THE MAN IN MOTLEY, and THE LEAGUE OF THE COBBLERS' LAST. It amounts to nearly a hundred thousand words of intense, edge-of-your-seat action!
