1. The Mystery of the Gold Box

British Secret Service agent Philip Clavering is on the trail of a gold snuff box. His colleague the late George Forrest was relieved of the box and murdered with a stiletto on a train from Berlin to Brussels. Clavering wanders Europe in search of the box, conflicted over the affections of the German spy Madeline and his true love Garnet Wolseley. Nobody knows why the box is so important, but it's imperative that Clavering find it and return it to London. A code message that is an anagram is the key to the mystery of the box.

2. The Spider's Touch

Another failed attempt to finish off Clubfoot. He's a slippery character. This book features an ensemble cast of men who've been wronged by Clubfoot in the past. They swear to get their revenge while they are also searching for poor Jimmy Fane, a hapless American junior diplomat caught up in Dr. Grundt's web. Another strong female character in Patricia Fane, the plucky speedboater and long distance airplane flying millionaire heroine. Also love Phil the faithful Sealyham.

3. The Fox Prowls

Adventure plus -- a bit of mystery with a rundown castle, a hidden treasure, a gang of international crooks, a rich American magnate and his daughter, and an officer of the British Intelligence, disguised as a crude chauffeur. An international incident in the making is foiled by the B.I.O.
