Good adventure novel wich containes a cunning villain, love, revenge and locked room murder. And good author too, E. Wallace is.
They say that in tha UK in the 1920s Edgar Wallace was the second biggest seller after the Bible.
And by the way, he wrote the scenario for King Kong movie (1933).
To my surprise I encountered on some blunders and mistakes in the novel. The most blatant one: The Browning automatic pistol (the weapon that killed Vassalaro ) called here as a revolver.

An excellent novel.It is interesting that it was the only detective novel that A.A.Milne ever wrote.
