Spoiler:

For once Richard Verrell was minding his own business.

Taking an evening constitutional stroll.

Passing by, as it were.

But his detached state of mind changed abruptly when he saw his own car being driven dangerously along a quiet street at the back of the British Museum.

Verrell was not the man to stand still and wonder. He wanted to know what was going on — and quickly.

Before long he learned that the driver of the car had just perpetrated a daring ‘snatch’ raid on the British Museum, where he had stolen only one article: a gold and ruby horse from the Saladin collection.

But why only the one article?

A pretty problem which could scarcely fail to interest Blackshirt.

Blackshirt Passes By moves with a pace that has come to be expected by the many millions of readers who have delighted in the past exploits of this immortal character.
