The Treasure of Tortoise Island — G.H. Teed

Sexton Blake and Huxton Rymer in a Long, Complete Detective - Adventure Story. The main thing about this story -apart from its absorbing interest -is that it raises a very interesting question. Supposing that an eminent surgeon, who because of some queer mental kink has turned crook, is engaged at a huge fee to cure a sick man. Will he do his best for him, or will he double-cross him and use his helplessness to his own ends? Here you see how Dr. Huxton Rymer responded to that situation, and how force of circumstances and Sexton Blake between them butted in on Huxton Rymer's bargain. This is an ingenious yarn which you will thoroughly enjoy.
