Tidal Basin was the toughest, poorest, lowest section of London, and somewhere in it's dark alleys lurked the Devil of Tidal Basin, terrifying the inhabitants, puzzling the police.
What connection had the Devil with White Face, the lone bandit who roamed London unmolested? Superintendent Mason, one of the Yard's Big Five wanted to know, and what Superintendent Mason wanted to know he generally found out. Criminals knew him as "Sympathetic" Mason, because of his curious methods of cross-examination.
But not until Janice Harmon fell in love with a man who had written her from South Africa did the tangled skeins of international crime, murder and mystery begin to sort themselves out—and the strange story of a cold blooded killer come out into the light at last.

Lord Frensham's (a nobleman who invested his life savings in Lulunga Oils) trust is abused by his nephew, Julian Reef (a gambler on the stock market) and his partner. Lord Frensham however, suspects Anthony Braid (the Twister), to be the one who is manipulating the Lulunga share price and thus is the one responsible for his ruin.
When Lord Frensham is found dead in his office, the conclusion is "suicide in a state of unsound mind". Neither Anthony Braid nor Inspector Elk of Scotland Yard are happy. Then things take a turn and the Lulunga Oil shares go up sharply in value...

With the stealing of the fat Englishman's wallet by Gregory Silinski, commences this extraordinary story of crime. Who are the Nine Bears? Who is Hyatt and the Man of the Eiffel Tower? And where is “LOLO” the secret rendezvous of the Nine? These are only a few of the facers that confront T. B. Smith, Assistant Commissioner from Scotland Yard, until the final dramatic scene aboard the “mad battleship.”
