Synopsis

A gripping tale of disguise, danger, and a dealer in fear that keeps you guessing. The Ringer, a hunted mastermind, taunts London with a chilling letter and a deadly promise, drawing in wealthy clients, savvy detectives, and daring schemers. This edition follows the cat-and-mouse chase through glittering rooms, smoky streets, and hidden corners of the city as the stakes rise.

Set against a backdrop of high society and hard-edged crime, the story threads together intrigue, misdirection, and small-wown bravado. Readers meet a cast rich with color—from blustery inspectors to a resourceful femme figure who dares to challenge the mastermind—and witness how cunning and courage collide.




  • Claustrophobic suspense built from clever disguises and careful observations.

  • Vivid, era-typical settings that blend elegance with criminal underworld activity.

  • Layers of motive, danger, and wit as investigators close in on The Ringer.

  • A brisk pace that balances plots, red herrings, and moments of narrow escape.



Ideal for readers who enjoy classic early crime fiction, stylish intrigue, and the puzzle of a mastermind at work.

Présentation de l'éditeur

To the average reader the name of Miska Guild is associated with s Hght and possibly amusing eccentricities. For example, he once went down Regent Street at eleven oclock at night at sixty miles an hour, crippled two unfortunate pedestrians, and smashed a lamp standard and his car. The charge that he was drunk failed, because indisputably he was sober when he was dragged out of the wreckage, himself unhurt. Nevertheless, an unsympathetic magistrate convicted, despite the conflict of medical evidence. Miska Guild went to the Sessions with the best advocates that money could buy and had the conviction quashed. The inner theatrical set knew him as a giver of freakish dinner parties; had an idea that he gave other parties even more freakish but less descriptive. Once he went to Paris, and the French police most obligingly hushed up a lurid incident as best they could.
