THE DUMB GODS SPEAK
by E. Phillips Oppenheim · Little, Brown
This is a spy thriller novel that revolves around the marvelous invention Mark Humberstone bequeaths to a Council of Seven, an espionage organization run by Mark Humberstone and a man called Cheng. This invention is to be used in the service of peace. The organization plans to turn China and Russia into constitutional monarchies, thus making them strong and stable factors for peace. With that, and the demonstration of the full power of the Humberstone devices, war will be impossible. Much rumor swirls around the agency, and the person who calls himself Mr. Jonson has come to join the organization as a hitman. Will Mr. Jonson be loyal to the organization?
