The Vengeance of Larose
by Arthur Gask (1930)

Arthur Cecil Gask (1872-1951) was born in London and practised as a dental surgeon for more than forty years in England and Australia. Following retirement in 1933 he devoted himself to writing. He died in North Adelaide, South Australia.

Synopsis:
Featuring Gilbert Larose.

When Arthur Gask was writing 'The Vengeance of Larose,' his new mystery story, England stood on the brink of war. The blow has fallen now, and it is singularly appropriate that Mr. Gask chose for his theme the attempt of a ruthless dictator to demoralise the English before the armies entered the field. He has delegated Gilbert Larose, the brilliant Australian detective, to avert the war of fiction. Larose's flair for tempering justice with expediency is well known, and when a grave peril threatens England he lets nothing stand between the means and the end.

Thanks for the six Arthur Gask mysteries! I had never heard of him before, but they look like excellent reads.

My pleasure! I have two more that I intent to upload in the next day or so. The Larose series was, in its day, very popular in Australia.
