About This Book

A Secret Service operative on holiday learns from a dying beachcomber of hidden treasure and, aided by a millionaire, sails to a Pacific island only to discover his old adversary, the man with the clubfoot, has already arrived. The narrative follows a fast-paced treasure hunt driven by a necessary cipher, intertwining clandestine rivalry, daring escapes, and shifting alliances; the sponsor's daughter plays a key role. Episodes move from tropical ports into jungle and burial chambers, culminating in a calculated struggle over the secret that protects the hoard.

THE HERBERT JENKINS' WIRELESS


The Herbert Jenkins' Wireless is published monthly and it is priceless. In other words it will be sent post-free to all book-lovers—and others.

It tells all about the latest Herbert Jenkins' Books. It also contains many good stories and interesting personalities—in the best sense of the term.

There are facts about authors and fictions about publishers. Above all there is real information about books, not just press-opinions and other people's opinions, but what a book is about.

One enthusiastic reader of The Herbert Jenkins' Wireless writes that it has enabled him to discontinue his subscriptions to Punch and The Times Literary Supplement!

The Star in big headlines refers to The H. J. Wireless as "Gingering up the Book Trade," and goes on to say that "nothing so ingenious has yet been issued in this country." Are you going to send for it to Herbert Jenkins Ltd., 3, York Street St. James's, London, S.W.1?
