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.
