Publisher's Synopsis
In the doorway of Dutch Pete's dive, the broken-down English exile met his death by a murderer's knife. What was the secret he carried with him? - the fatal secret that had made him a victim of the terrible gang run by the Pirate of the Timor Sea? There is little law save that of gun and knife in the islands of Malay, but Sexton Blake is determined to see justice done. His fight against the notorious pirate makes a breathlessly exciting narrative with the Far East for colourful background.
