One of the most unjustly neglected crime and mystery authors of the turn of the century. -Peter Haining, The Art of Mystery & Detection Stories
Dr. Nikola's Experiment is narrated by a young scientist, Dr. Douglas Ingleby. This entry in the celebrated Victorian crime series largely concerns Dr. Nikola's experimentation with the reversal of aging by perfecting the elixir vitae formula stolen from the Tibetan Lamaserai. The subject of Nikola's experiments is the dying Don Miguel de Moreno. While Nikola's experiments in restoring the Don to health and vigor succeed, it also derails his thinking and reduces him into a crazed homicidal maniac. The unrelenting Tibetan assassins on Nikola's trail also catch up with him in the explosive denouement.
You have never met Dr. Nikola, but you must do so without delay. I tell you, Ingleby, he is the most wonderful man with whom I have ever been brought in contact, and engaged in an experiment of the most incredible nature. When you have met him, I venture to think you will not doubt that he will carry it through.
