'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.'
