Publishing: With issue 130, DETECTIVE WEEKLY stops running Sexton Blake stories. They would resume late in 1937 but mostly in the form of reprints and rewrites. Blake author John W. Bobin (aka Mark Osborne) dies aged just 46. John Hunter makes his debut as a Blake writer. Real name Alfred John Hunter, he was born in 1891 and had his first stories published when he was still a schoolboy. By the inter-war years he was so successful that his tales were appearing in practically all the story papers. His contributions to the world of Sexton Blake included Captain Dack, skipper of the Mary Ann Trinder. Hunter died in 1961, aged 69. | |

THE SEXTON BLAKE LIBRARY · 2nd series · Issue 503 · Nov. 1935 · Amalgamated Press · 4d THE TRUTH ABOUT LORD TRENCH by Donald Stuart · Illustrator: Eric Parker Other content: Consulting Room Chat (ed.); The Shot Policeman (article). Notes: A stranger dressed in black has been lurking around outside Trencham Close, the secluded home Colonel Charles Rayner inherited from Lord Trench, his uncle. One night a message is thrown through a window. It reads: Put the book on the sundial. If you keep what is not yours you must pay the penalty. Rayner invites his friends Dick Farrell and Harry Glenn to come and stay. Late in the evening, they see Rayner's daughter, Mary, sneaking out into the darkness. In the morning they explore in the direction she had gone and discover the body of a well-known police informant hanging from a tree. In a nearby cottage, they find Sexton Blake. He has been commissioned by Lord Trench's ex-fiance, Dorothy Lessinger, who lives nearby with her retiring brother, Alfred. Miss Lessinger feels sure that Trench's death was a case of murder. He had seemed fearful during the weeks prior to his death and it later emerged that, bit by bit, he had withdrawn his whole fortune. Blake telephones Inspector Coutts and asks him to trace Stephen Cripps, a man who had known the informant. Coutts later reports that Cripps has gone missing. Mary, who had been creeping out that night to meet her friend Isabel Leyton, is kidnapped by the man in black; to be held hostage until the book is handed over. She sends a note to her father revealing that the book is 'Bardelys the Magnificent' by Rafael Sabatini. But the volume doesn't appear to be anywhere in Trencham Close. The detective, with Tinker, Rayner, Farrell and Glenn, lays a trap for the kidnapper by placing a different book on the sundial before lying in wait. The man in black arrives but, as he picks up the book, a shot rings out and he falls dead. Mary escapes and returns to Trencham Close. When Blake investigates the house where she had been held, he picks up the first clue to the villain's identity. A few hours later, near the local railway station, he sees Alfred Lessinger talking to the missing Cripps. He tasks Farrell with following Cripps while he himself returns to London to pursue inquiries there. They are fruitful; he learns that Trench had been converting his fortune into gold because he feared a communist revolution was imminent. That night, Farrell follows Cripps to an assignation with an unseen associate but is caught and knocked unconscious. Blake and Coutts arrive from London when they hear of his injury. The detective sets another trap and the criminal falls straight into it. His identity is, at last, exposed. Finally, the secret of the book is solved and the treasure is found. Trivia: Before this case, Blake has and Coutts have not seen each other for some time. Rating:
