Beschreibung

"She had the face of an angel and the heart of a serpent."

Meet Jean Briggerland. To the world, she is a vision of ethereal beauty and innocence. To those who know her secrets, she is the "Angel of Terror"—a cold, calculating murderess who orchestrates the deaths of those around her to secure a massive fortune. When a young millionaire is framed and executed for a crime he didn't commit, his friend, the sharp-witted lawyer Jack Glover, vows to bring the beautiful monster to justice.

A Battle of Wits and Wills: In a deadly game of cat and mouse, Glover must navigate a world of forged wills, poisoned atmospheres, and narrow escapes. Jean Briggerland is unlike any villain of her era; she doesn't kill out of passion, but with the clinical precision of a master strategist. As Glover peels back the layers of her deception, he finds himself in the crosshairs of a woman who has never known failure—or mercy.

The Master of the "Twist": Edgar Wallace, the creator of King Kong and a pioneer of the modern thriller, delivers a fast-paced narrative filled with his trademark suspense. The Angel of Terror stands out for its chilling portrayal of a sociopathic antagonist who uses her societal standing and physical beauty as a shield. It is a quintessential British mystery that explores the thin line between civilization and savagery.

Experience the darker side of the Jazz Age. Purchase "The Angel of Terror" today and see if you can outsmart the deadliest woman in London.

    A party gone wrong? 
    Or a sickening group attack? 
    Not everything is what it seems, and not everyone is who they appear to be. 
    A young girl is found dead at the Pike Tower on Winter Hill near Chorley and DCI Walker and the newly promoted DC Briggs are drafted in to investigate. But what they find extends far beyond the Rivington Pike. What seems like a party gone wrong, or a sickening group attack, transpires to be much more, and threatens not only the local community, but Walker and his team too. 
    "Authentically written, patiently penned, and satisfyingly dark, The Pike is a top-flight crime thriller." - SPR Editorial Review ★★★★★ 
    After identifying who’d taken the deceased to the Pike, a cat and mouse chase ensues, taking them to Manchester and back. And when more women are attacked and left for dead, Walker gets reinforcements, turns it into a wide-scale manhunt. If they don’t find the attacker soon, more women will almost certainly die. 
    But Walker and his team don’t have to look too far, and what they find is much darker than they could possibly have imagined. 
    Is it a sin if you are the victim? 
    The Pike is the second book in the stunning debut police procedural crime thriller from JJ Richards (although it can be read as a stand-alone). 
    Fans of Ian Rankin, JD Kirk, Matt Brolly, Patricia Gibney, and Michael Connelly will love this!
