This review is from: THE COURAGEOUS EXPLOITS OF DOCTOR SYN (Hardcover)

"The Courageous Exploits of Doctor Syn" is the fourth in chronological sequence of Russell Thorndike's seven highly entertaining novels about the Reverend Doctor Syn, the apparently harmless vicar of Dymchurch in Kent who led a secret life as a pirate and smuggler.

The full series is:

1) Doctor Syn on the High Seas
(the vicar who became a pirate)

2) Doctor Syn Returns
(the pirate who became a vicar)

3) The Further Adventures of Doctor Syn
(the scarecrow who became a hero)

4) The Courageous Exploits of Doctor Syn
(the captain who became a threat)

5) The Amazing Quest of Doctor Syn
(the legacy which became a liability)

6) The Shadow of Doctor Syn
(the smuggler who became a legend)

7) Doctor Syn
(The marsh that became a mystery)

The Nightriders, the most successful smuggling gang in Kent, have outwitted first every customs officer sent against them, and then the army. Nobody could imagine that their mysterious leader "The Scarecrow" could possibly be the mild-mannered vicar of Dymchurch, Dr Syn.
