A beautiful and seemingly innocent woman conceals a ruthless intelligence-and everyone who stands between her and a fortune is in mortal danger. James Meredith has been convicted of murder, but the circumstances surrounding the crime are tangled in jealousy, manipulation, and hidden motives. At the center of the mystery stands Jean Briggerland, a charming and calculating woman whose outward grace masks a capacity for deception and violence. As Meredith struggles against the consequences of his conviction, those attempting to uncover the truth find themselves drawn into an increasingly dangerous contest of wills. Jean's schemes extend across England and into continental Europe as she works to secure wealth and eliminate anyone capable of exposing her. Investigators, relatives, and former allies become pieces in an elaborate game involving false identities, carefully arranged accidents, blackmail, and murder. Wallace keeps the suspense moving through sudden reversals, narrow escapes, and the unsettling contrast between Jean's beauty and her complete lack of conscience. First published in 1922, The Angel of Terror is a fast-paced crime thriller featuring one of Edgar Wallace's most memorable villains. Combining mystery, psychological suspense, melodrama, and international intrigue, the novel demonstrates the storytelling skill that made Wallace one of the most widely read crime writers of his generation. It will appeal to readers of classic mysteries, vintage thrillers, criminal masterminds, and tales of betrayal and revenge.
