BOOKS


1			The Mysterious Mr. Brent Written by Gilderoy Davison Copyright: 1935 "As we trace the amazing adventures of Tony Beaucourt, we are caught up breathlessly by the trail of horror and ruthless disregard of human life left by the mysterious Mr. Brent. This is a gripping mystery story which urges one on in its excitement, and defies all attempts at solution until the last few pages." "With the scene all in the atmosphere of international politics and an official of the Foreign Office as one of the principal character, [this] is a thriller of the most exciting type. There are sinister Chinese and Soviet operatives seeking an important and secret pact, and always in the background lurks the monster, Mr. Brent himself."

2			Exit Mr. Brent Written by Gilderoy Davison Copyright: 1936 According to The Straits Times of Singapore: 'Exit Mr. Brent' is a different type of yarn. We have met Mr. Brent twice before. He is the megalomaniac scientist and surgeon, with a stronghold on a hidden island in the Atlantic, and his specialty is a brain operation that turns his victims into automata, completely under his power. He also dabbles in international politics and his ambition is to set the whole world by the ears. Although 'Exit Mr. Brent' has a very complicated plot, it is full of excitement and intrigue and Brent and his two enemies, Detectives Royston and Castle, fight the battle of wits ardently and with varying fortune until the end, when a final stop is put to Brent's machinations".
