The Yellow Needle
by Patrick Campbell
In London to negotiate independence for his country, Tenebra, Sir Wilberforce Lungi nearly dies. His old friend Dr Keel agrees to help unmask the culprit and suspicion falls on Lungi's secretary Jacquetta Brown. Steed, meanwhile, investigates opposition in Tenebra. All clues lead back to Brown and she is prevented from destroying Lungi's insulin, to be replaced by a lethal dose of yellow fever.
