A modern-day Robin Hood outsmarts London's elite in this 1925 crime novel by the author of the Fu Manchu novels.
Jewish criminal mastermind Séverac Bablon is on a mission to combat the negative stereotypes of his people by blackmailing wealthy Jews into giving to charity. Like a modern-day Robin Hood, he steals in the name of the poor and outcast, inspiring philanthropy with the barrel of a gun.
As the rich go to greater and greater lengths to stop him, Bablon and his loyal followers always remain one step ahead. Even Scotland Yard's Chief Inspector Sheffield finds himself driven to the limit of his abilities. But Gleaner reporter Tom Sheard is there to catch every twist and turn . . .
