THE SEXTON BLAKE LIBRARY · 2nd series · Issue 542 · Sep. 1936 · Amalgamated Press · 4d THE SECRET OF THE IDENTIFICATION PARADE by Walter Edwards (Walter Shute) · Illustrator: Eric Parker Other content: Consulting Room Chat (ed.); Murders Solved in Sleep (article). Notes: Floyd Caslon, Managing-Director of Giant Supply Stores, calls in Detective-Inspector Coutts after a series of robberies. Coutts, in turn, sends for Sexton Blake when the company's secretary, Konstandt, is found dead. Meanwhile, down-and-out Martin Slade is hitch-hiking to Brighton. A lorry driver named Buck Shrap and his mate, Trigger Johns, gives him a lift and, after dropping him off, they drive on to Marlingdene Grange where they unload stolen goods for their eccentric boss, Magnus Rennell. Watching from a hiding place are two hired hitmen. After the lorry has departed they break into the Grange and kill Rennell. The housekeeper Mrs. Brill, witnesses their departure. Later, one of them runs into Martin Slade and tricks him into joining a police identity parade. Mrs. Brill points him out due to his resemblance to the other gunman. Slade is arrested on a charge of murder. Blake has learned enough to suspect that Marlingdene Grange may be the base of operations for the thieves who've been stealing from the Giant Supply Stores. To his astonishment, though, he discovers that the property actually belongs to Floyd Caslon and the millionaire businessman soon moves into it. Blake, heavily disguised, gets a job as a gardener. One night, lorries arrive. Blake spies upon the proceedings as Caslon's secretary, Mr. Creed, organises the removal men. But he is spotted and Caslon, realising that his gardener is Sexton Blake, orders Trigger Johns to kill him. The following day Detective-Inspector Welland informs Caslon that his gardener has been murdered. Trigger Johns, having shot at Blake from a distance, visits the mortuary to check that the detective is, indeed dead. When the 'corpse' sits up and grabs him by the throat, Johns dies of fright. Next day, when Inspector Welland confronts Caslon, he is shot in the knee and held prisoner in the Grange's vaults. Blake and Coutts are invited to dinner at Marlingdene and indulge in verbal jousting with their host. Later, Blake sneaks back to search the house and ends up a prisoner with Welland, who has been tortured by Creed and chained in a cell. The detective escapes, shooting Creed dead, just as Coutts leads a raid on the house. The criminals are rounded up and each pays the ultimate price for their crimes. Rating:  An unusually brutal story and one which never lets up.
