Orchestrated villainy...

Jim Anthony has battled all manner of evil and villainy in his illustrious career as a globe-trotting adventurer.

Each is determined to wreak unimaginable havoc on the world and vanquish the Super Detective in the process.

The hero soon comes to suspect there is a fourth nemesis: a super mastermind orchestrating these other villains in a cunning, deadly plot for reasons he is unable to fathom.

Jim Anthony Versus the Mastermind!

I liked this volume in the Jim Anthony series, but the writing wasn't as good, I think. Possibly, it would have read fine if they hadn't changed the narrator. Even though he was good, and the narrator for the previous volumes had his weaknesses, it's always difficult transitioning from one voice to another mid-series. Whatever the specific reason, this is, for me, the weakest entry so far, but I still enjoyed it.
