Lord Frensham's (a nobleman who invested his life savings in Lulunga Oils) trust is abused by his nephew, Julian Reef (a gambler on the stock market) and his partner. Lord Frensham however, suspects Anthony Braid (the Twister), to be the one who id manipulating the Lulunga share price and thus is the one responsable for his ruin. When Lord Frensham is found dead in his office, the conclusion is "suicide in a state of unsound mind." Neither Anthony Braid nor Inspector Elk of Scotland Yard are happy. Then things take a turn and the Lulunga Oil shares go up sharply in value...

A gang of burglars, bank-robbers, and thieves is plaguing the river Thames in London; their distinctive disguises of rubber masks and rubber gloves giving them the name "The India-rubber Men". What is the connection of the gang with the seedy "Mecca" club?

Tidal Basin was the toughest, poorest, lowest section of London, and somewhere in it's dark alleys lurked the Devil of Tidal Basin, terrifying the inhabitants, puzzling the police. What connection had the Devil with White Face, the lone bandit who roamed London unmolested? Superintendent Mason, one of the Yard's Big Five wanted to know, and what Superintendent Mason wanted to know he generally found out. Criminals knew him as "Sympathetic" Mason, because of his curious methods of cross-examination. But not until Janice Harmon fell in love with a man who had written her from South Africa did the tangled skeins of international crime, murder and mystery begin to sort themselves out - and the strange story of a cold blooded killer come out into the light at last. This is Edgar Wallace at his best - and Edgar Wallace is known the world over as "the KING of mystery writers.
