A Spanish resistance leader's safety in England is threatened by the passage through Parliament of the Aliens Extradition Bill. The minister responsible receives a message from four mysterious figures warning him to withdraw the legislation or face death. The suspense grows as the police struggle to protect the minister before the conspirators' deadline is reached; the ingenious final puzzle was to mark out Edgar Wallace as an outstanding writer of detective thrillers.
Included in this edition is his later novel, The Council of Justice, which forms a sequel.

Edition Notes
The David Magee Collection of Edwardian Literature.
On cover and repeated in appendix: "£500 reward. A remarkable offer is made in connection with this novel. Apart from its interest as a most brilliant piece of story writing, Mr. Edgar Wallace has heightened its charm by leaving at the end one mystery unsolved. The publishers invite the reader to solve this mystery and offer prizes to the value of £500 (First prize £200), to the readers who will furnish on the form provided the explanation of Sir Philip Ramon's death."
Entrance form on back end-paper.
Bound in original yellow cloth.

First Sentence
"ON the fourteenth day of August, 190-, a tiny paragraph appeared at the foot of an unimportant page in London's most sober journal to the effect that the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs had been much annoyed by the receipt of a number of threatening letters, and was prepared to pay a reward of fifty pounds to any person who would give such information as would lead to the apprehension and conviction of the person or persons, etc."
