The triumphant return of Michael Moorcock to Britain''s adventuring detective, Sexton Blake, in the crime fiction event of the year!

Michael Moorcock''s triumphant return to Britain''s adventuring detective, Sexton Blake! His first published novel restored, revised, expanded... and presented with a brand new prequel story!

A deep sea mission...

A baffling murder...

Beneath a sky of limpid sapphire blue, the research ship Gorgon rolls gently on the scintillating waters of the Caribbean Sea.

Below, two men in a bathysphere, lowered more than a 150 fathoms into the crushing depths. But when the sphere is raised, there is only one man inside... and he has a knife in his back!

Now Sexton Blake must answer an impossible question: How did the killer escape?

Industry Reviews

"Makes Jack Reacher look like a bungling amateur...definitely not be missed." - The Crime Review
"Delighted to see Sexton Blake still going strong - and with such aplomb!" -- Agatha Christie
"The Sexton Blake Saga is the nearest approach to a national folk-lore" -- Dorothy L Sayers
"After more than seventy years of continuous publication, Sexton Blake is still the doyen of detectives." -- Daily Telegraph
"[Moorcock] is the greatest writer of post-Tolkien British Fantasy." - Michael Chabon, Pulitzer Prize winning author of The Amazing Adventures of Kavalaier & Clay, and Telegraph Avenue
"Moorcock's influence is nothing like Tolkien's, at least on the surface, but his vision of a speculative-fiction genre that can be psychologically complex is evident in how very sophisticated some of it has become-from "True Detective" to Jeff VanderMeer, from David Mitchell to "Under the Skin." - The New Yorker
"Moorcock as the most important successor to Mervyn Peake and Wyndham Lewis... The vast, tragic symbols by which Moorcock continually illuminates the metaphysical quest of his hero are a measure of the author's remarkable talents" - J.G.Ballard, author of Empire of the Sun, Crash, and The Drowned World
"[Moorcock] can gleefully give you all the formulae of every kind of story there ever was, because he's tried and tested all of them ... the master story-teller of our time." - Angela Carter author of The Bloody Chamber, and Nights at the Circus
"Serious literary fun as Mark Hodder vaults to the front of the new steampunk writers pack. Elaborately researched and name-checked, THE SECRET OF ABDU EL YEZDI races Victorian explorer Sir Richard Burton through a diabolically baffling maze of historical possiblities -- plus there's corsets and airships. Hard to imagine any lover of alternate British empires not being thoroughly amazed and entertained" ? K.W. Jeter
