Sinopsis

In "The Clue of the Twisted Candle," Edgar Wallace crafts a masterful detective narrative that unfolds with an intricate plot rich in intrigue and suspense. Set against the backdrop of early 20th-century England, the novel weaves together themes of betrayal, deception, and the pursuit of justice through the enigmatic case of a murder characterized by a cryptic clue—a twisted candle. Wallace's vivid prose and dynamic pacing reflect the burgeoning genre of crime fiction during his time, drawing readers into a world where every character possesses an aura of suspicion, and the truth is elusive until the very end. Edgar Wallace was a prolific writer, often exploring the darker sides of human nature through his myriad works. Known for his journalistic background and diverse storytelling abilities, he penned over 170 novels, short stories, and plays. His experiences in journalism likely influenced the gripping realism and psychological depth found in this tale, as he sought to mirror the complexities of society in his stories. Wallace's unique ability to capture the zeitgeist of his era replete with crime and societal transformation makes this book a compelling read. For readers who relish a tantalizing mystery intertwined with complex characters, "The Clue of the Twisted Candle" promises to be an exhilarating journey. As Wallace artfully guides us through the labyrinthine twists of the plot, the book not only satisfies the desire for suspense but also poses profound questions about moral ambiguity and the nature of justice, making it an essential addition to any crime fiction enthusiast's library.

    A powerful debut novel that continues the legacy of ‘Master of the Genre’ Desmond Bagley with a thriller set in Australia, also appealing to a new generation of readers of who adore Jane Harper and Chris Hammer. 
    The Sequel to Desmond Bagley’s DOMINO ISLAND  
    Insurance investigator Bill Kemp had never wanted to trek deep into Australia’s remote interior. But when his clients Sophie and Adam Church inherit an abandoned opal mine, triggering some explosive long-lost secrets, they – and Kemp – find themselves facing an unknown enemy even more deadly than the vast, forbidding wilderness of the Outback… 
    The Desmond Bagley centenary novel honours the legacy of the bestselling thriller writer with a new adventure featuring Bill Kemp, described by Jeffrey Deaver as ‘part James Bond, part Philip Marlowe, and all hero’. Writer Michael Davies, who completed the first Kemp novel Domino Island for publication nearly 40 years after the author’s death, now weaves an original tale of danger and death under the blistering Australian sun. 
    In OUTBACK, Michael Davies masterfully crafts a tale of suspense and action, set against the backdrop of Australia's vast and unforgiving Outback. The inherited opal mine, a ticking time bomb of secrets and dangers, forces the characters into a deadly game of survival. 
    For fans of Fleur Mcdonald (Something to Hide), John Le Carré (Call for the Dead), Simon Mason (The Case of the Lonely Accountant), Mick Herron (Slow Horses), and Mike Maden (Clive Cussler’s Ghost Soldier).
