Edgar Wallace, one of the most prolific crime and thriller writers of the early 20th century, was known for fast-paced plots and sharply drawn characters. His work often blended the intrigue of international conspiracies with the immediacy of street-level crime, creating a style that would help shape the modern detective novel.

In our story, Lady Raytham receives an unexpected visit from Miss Leslie Maughan—an unusually young and poised detective from Scotland Yard—who arrives with questions about a large, recent withdrawal from the lady’s bank account. This meeting sets in motion a chain of encounters involving Peter Dawlish, a man freshly released from prison, and a shadowy web of danger that seems to close in from every side.
