Sherlock
Holmes and Dr. Watson attempt to prevent two rival criminal
masterminds, Zenith the Albino and the Chinese Lord of Strange
Deaths, from getting their respective hands on a mysterious but
precious item called “England’s Treasure.” Donald Petrie is the
Secretary of the National Portrait Gallery. Zenith the Albino is one of Sexton Blake’s greatest foes. Although Zenith
first battled Blake in a 1913 story, this novel demonstrates that he
was already active well before then. “The Lord of Strange Deaths”
is one of Fu Manchu’s appellations. Donald Petrie may be a relative
of Dr. Petrie from the Fu Manchu novels.
