A Szőke ciklon Rejtő Jenő groteszk detektívregény paródiáinak egyik legjobb darabja. A szerelmi történetet és a krimit elragadóan kombináló mű cselekménye egy Buddha-szobrocska utáni kutatás kalandjait meséli el. A szobor belsejében található egymillió fontot érő gyémántot, az elhalálozott börtöntöltelék, Jim Hogan örökségét, egy fergeteges iramú, Angliától a Szaharáig tartó hajszában többen is szeretnék megkaparintani. A regény angol nyelvű változata ötödik alkalommal jelenik meg a Corvina Kiadónál.
Jenő Rejtő was a journalist, prolific author of cabaret skits, and the steadfast practitioner of comic thrillers with unforgettable characters and one-liners that together have become part and parcel of Hungarian literary folklore. Delightfully grotesque parodies of the detective novels that had their heyday at the time, Rejtő wrote most of his books in the 1930s under the penname of P. Howard.
The Blonde Hurricane is one of the best of the lot. A combination of thriller and love story, it centres around the race to find a priceless family jewel concealed in a statuette of Buddha that an international band of crooks are after - and so is Miss Evelyn Weston, the Blonde Hurricane, and without her knowledge, Eddy Rancing, who is in love with her, plus a host of others.
Everyone is being pursued as well as pursuing everyone else, from England to the African desert and back. Meanwhile, the humour comes pouring out of Rejtő's pen as fast and furious as it did from his famous contemporary P. G. Wodehouse.
