Sexton Blake was “perhaps the world’s longest-running detective hero [with] One of Blake’s greatest adversaries [being Monsieur] Zenith the Albino”. ‘Curaré’ features (in homage to Blake) the metatemporal detective Seaton Begg, thus cross-linking the story with those of various other members and generations of the Family von Bek and their curious relationships with both Lucifer and the Holy Grail.
