ABOUT THE SERIES
Christopher Bond is an agent with British Intelligence.
At least he becomes one at the start of the hostilities of WWII. Prior to that he is known as an adventurer and, on at least one instance, a "famous criminologist".
According to The Mystery Fancier, Vol 4 #5 (Sep/Oct 1980), "Bond is an adventurer, always looking for trouble. During the war years the British use his reckless powers to combat the Nazis."
More will come when I learn more about this rare and expensive series.

Shadow Agent
Written by Wyndham Martyn
Copyright: 1941
"When Christopher Bond and his faithful henchman, Binns, accepted an unsavoury and dangerous case of blackmail they were prepared for the usual hectic period of violence. And they were far from disappointed. But the case developed into something much more formidable: they stumbled across a powerful conspiracy to render the might of Britain impotent - which would place her at the mercy of terrorists and then, finally, of the dictator tyrannies."
