The Sins of Severac Bablon Illustrated Sax Rohmer

"A man at once wealthy and generous? An improbable being -- but not impossible!" Standing among the milling party-goers, Sir Richard observes this to his millionaire host -- having just read news about Severac Bablon, a mysterious figure who has given monetary assistance to 2,000 men suddenly thrown into unemployment, in Canada. Moments later, a hush falls over this assemblage of London's wealthiest and smartest -- for they find themselves surrounded by a ring of identically dressed men -- with handguns drawn! In "The Sins of Severac Bablon," Sax Rohmer, creator of the sinister villain Fu Manchu, unveils a case to baffle Chief Inspector Sheffield of Scotland Yard. The book is well written and the manner of descriptions and use of wording makes the book an excellent read. You get a new spin on the Robin Hood genre with Severac and find that he is just as easy to love. His efforts, although illegal, did aid in helping the people. It's entertaining and mysterious.
