Yvonne the Adventuress. The Princess of Mystery. Whatever her title, most fans agree her first appearance changed Sexton Blake's world forever. No female adversary before her matched her in style and daring, no one before her captured the detective's heart so thoroughly. She quickly became a fan favourite and appeared in Blake adventures for thirteen years, at first matching wits with the great detective and then later fighting alongside him.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYvonne's story begins with an act of betrayal. Towards the end of the Edwardian age, the Cartiers are swindled out of their land in Australia. Yvonne swears vengeance upon the eight men who destroyed her family and begins to go after them one by one. Her exploits were wildly popular, the public enthralled by the tale of a young woman righting wrongs in the vein of a female Count of Monte Cristo. Readers wrote in from all around the globe, praising the Yvonne tales, some asking the editors to have Sexton Blake marry Yvonne and have them fight crime side by side.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 'Vengeance Series' ran in the Union Jack from January to July 1913 and was comprised of the eight titles collected in this anthology: \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eBeyond Reach of the Law\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eWhen Greek Meets Greek\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e,  \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eOn the Brink of Ruin\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eSettling Day\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e,  \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eA Minister of the Crown\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Detective Airman\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Missing Guests\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eBy Right of Possession\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e.
