Description

Though he isn't susceptible to boredom Richard Verrell likes life at its most eventful. And when he reads about Chibodia in his morning paper he experiences a glow of excitement. Why should Verrell--alias Blackshirt--concern himself with the affairs of a remote republic in Central America? What is the significance of the arrest of Robin Treymoine, a Foreign Office official, charged with stealing seventy-five pounds from the Chibodian Embassy? And what lies behind the extravagant gift which Chibodia proposes to present to the Russian people? Readers, anxious to learn the answer to these questions, will find themselves drawn into Blackshirt's enthralling adventures in London and the Eastern Zone of Germany--adventures which lead at last to the uncovering of an amazing and sinister plot. They will find Blackshirt as adroit as ever, and will be delighted at the way he finds breath-taking excitement.
