"Mr. Blake, no doubt you are wondering why I have sent for you. I admit that it is rather an unusual course for a man of my position to adopt, but there are strong reasons for it."With those words, Sir Vrymer Fane, head of the British Secret Service, invited Sexton Blake into the world of international political intrigue. In the many cases that followed, the great detective would find himself allied with two of the most popular characters in the Blake canon: James "Granite" Grant, The King's Spy, and Mademoiselle Julie of the French Secret Service.Grant was renowned for his fearlessness and dogged determination, and reputed "the brains of the British Secret Service." Mademoiselle Julie was a multi-skilled, highly intelligent agent whose uncommon beauty "could cast its spell over the strongest of men." Together, the two would feature in some of the most popular tales of the Roaring Twenties.

Sexton Blake, Beyond Reach of the LawMademoiselle Yvonne Cartier. Yvonne the Adventuress. The Princess of Mystery. Whatever her title, most fans agree her first appearance changed Sexton Blake's world forever. No female adversary before her matched her in style and daring, no one before her captured the detective's heart so thoroughly.

Towards the end of the Edwardian age, the Cartiers are swindled out of their land in Australia. Yvonne swears vengeance upon the eight men who destroyed her family and begins to go after them one by one. Her exploits were wildly popular, the public enthralled by the tale of a young woman righting wrongs in the vein of a female Count of Monte Cristo. Readers wrote in from all around the globe, praising the Yvonne tales, some asking the editors to have Sexton Blake marry Yvonne and have them fight crime side by side.The 'Vengeance Series' ran in the Union Jack from January to July 1913 and was comprised of the eight titles collected in this anthology: Beyond Reach of the Law, When Greek Meets Greek, On the Brink of Ruin, Settling Day, A Minister of the Crown, The Detective Airman, The Missing Guests and By Right of Possession.
