Synopsis
A daring master of disguise taunts Scotland Yard in a high-stakes London mystery you won’t put down.
In Edgar Wallace’s gripping thriller, a brilliant criminal known as The Ringer issues a chilling challenge to a wealthy man, while detectives dog his every move. As the case unfolds across hotel rooms, back streets, and a bustling public world, the hunt reveals a web of clever deception, marked by sharp dialogue and pulse-quickening twists. The book follows both sides of the moral line—from the cunning Ringer to the weary investigators—as they race to outwit each other before more lives are endangered.
- Experience a tense battle of wits between a master impostor and persistent investigators.
- Watch how disguise, misdirection, and street-level intrigue drive the plot.
- Meet a memorable cast of characters, from fearlessly capable women to calculating foes.
- Feel the brisk pace and atmosphere of early 20th-century London amid a broad, cinematic mystery.

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.
