(3,98 Sterne; 49 Bewertungen)
A mysterious burgary of the British Consulate at Leghorn, coupled with the even more mysterious visit of an English yacht, leads to a trail of espionage and underground criminal activity that carries to reader to London, to Scotland, and ultimately to Finland, then groaning under the oppression of its imperial Russian masters. Our hero, fortunately, is a man of great perspicacity (half a century later he might have been named Double O Seven), but even he finds his limits tested as he attempts to find the truth. - Summary by Nicholas Clifford (9 hr 55 min)

Exciting, and Incredibly Relevant

This story, though taking place over 120 years ago as a historical thriller, has a current parallel to Russia’s imperial ambitions in Ukraine, only then, it was Finland that was its victim. Of course, that’s just a minor backdrop for this wonderfully exciting mystery that is quite credible in intrigue, espionage, and crime. Our most excellent reader, Professor Clifford, must be appreciated in memory, for bringing us such great literature to our attention and enjoyment.

2019 - yearly listen. Both narrators are my favorite but I am a creature of habit so, I prefer Weiss read the Le Queux books, if I had my choice. Really, I'm just happy when it's any of my favorites.
thank you Nicholas Clifford!!

Good story, but I would not call it a mystery, much more a thriller than a who-done-it.
