Synopsis

Bulldog’s back! This time, there is a plot to foment a revolution in England, a plot that has left the Police baffled and the nation at the mercy of a master criminal. A disguised clergyman, a beautiful sidekick, an arcane poison, car chases and abductions all fail to see off Hugh Drummond and his gang of ex-Army friends. But when the plotters capture Drummond’s wife, the game is up… isn’t it? Undaunted, charming, brave and resourceful, Bulldog Drummond is an archetypal English adventure hero, and the forerunner of The Saint and James Bond.

I am enjoying this book. "No—I am not. I am not the police, you wretched thing: I am the leader of the Black Gang." This was a good story although modern readers should be aware that it contains some antisemitic passages.......more

Goodreads review by Mick on July 28, 2019

Written in 1922, not that long after the Russian Revolution and clearly at a time of panic verging on hysteria in Britain about the fear of Communist revolution or infiltration, this book is an old-fashioned boys own adventure where our hero and his pals are in a secret battle with international rev......more
