"The Golden Face." The "Golden Face" is the mysterious leader of an organised gangs of ruthless thieves. The reader is taken on a step-by-step descent through the ranks of the dastardly organisation as the protagonist is thrown the underworld of crime. Extract: Grown accustomed during the war, however, to fending for myself and overcoming difficulties and problems of one sort and another, I at once set to work to look about for any kind of employment for which I fancied I might be fitted. After answering many advertisements to no purpose, I one day happened upon one in The Times which rather stirred my curiosity. It stated that a gentleman of good position, who had occasion to travel in many parts of the world, would like to hear from a young man with considerable experience in motor driving. The applicant should not be over thirty, and it was essential that he should be a gentleman and well educated, with a knowledge of foreign languages if possible; also that he should be thoroughly trustworthy and possessed of initiative. The salary would be a very liberal one.

Notă biografică

Anglo-French journalist and author William Tufnell Le Queux (18 July 1864 - 13 October 1927) was born in England. Both The Great War in England (1897) and The Invasion of 1910 (1906), the latter of which became a blockbuster, were written by him. Although he eventually gave Germany this position, his partial French background did not stop him from portraying France and the French as villains in works from the 1890s. In the years before World War I, he published invasion novels and pulp espionage tales. His collaboration with Lord Northcliffe resulted in the serialized publishing and promotion of intrusion and espionage tales. The Invasion of 1910, a book by Le Queux, debuted in serial form in March 1906. It was a great hit and made Le Queux a tidy sum of money. Le Queux had a keen interest in wireless transmission and radio communication. For ""rumbling their ambitions,"" he asked the Germans for further protection during World War I. Le Queux asserted that Jack the Ripper was a Russian physician by the name of Alexander Pedachenko who carried out the killings in an effort to perplex and mock Scotland Yard.
