The Devil Man

Edgar Wallace

Beschreibung

Edgar Wallace was a prolific British writer in the early 20th century, known for his crime and detective fiction. The Devil Man is one of his lesser-known works, but it is a classic example of his style.

The story follows Inspector Elk of Scotland Yard as he investigates a series of murders that seem to be connected to a mysterious man known as "the Devil Man." The Devil Man is said to have supernatural powers and the ability to control people's minds. Elk is initially skeptical of these claims but soon discovers that there may be some truth to them.

The Devil Man is a thrilling mystery full of twists and turns. Wallace's writing style is fast-paced and engaging, and he keeps the reader guessing until the very end. 

Edgar Wallace (1875-1932) was a British author, journalist, and playwright, best known for his crime and detective novels. He wrote over 170 novels, 957 short stories, and 18 stage plays during his prolific career. Wallace's work was popular in his time, and his novels were often adapted for film and stage.

Cold Case - Cherringham - A Cosy...

Matthew Costello, Neil Richards

It's winter in Cherringham, and petty thief Charlie Topper's life is in danger. Desperate, he reaches out to Jack and Sarah for help: last summer - during a robbery - he witnessed a cold-blooded murder, and now he fears the killer is after him. Can Jack and Sarah solve this very cold case - before the desperate murderer comes for them too?

Set in the sleepy English village of Cherringham, the detective series brings together an unlikely sleuthing duo: English web designer Sarah and American ex-cop Jack. Thrilling and deadly - but with a spot of tea - it's like Rosamunde Pilcher meets Inspector Barnaby. Each of the self-contained episodes is a quick read for the morning commute, while waiting for the doctor, or when curling up with a hot cuppa.

Co-authors Neil Richards (based in the UK) and Matthew Costello (based in the US), have been writing together since the mid-90s, creating content and working on projects for the BBC, Disney Channel, Sony, ABC, Eidos, and Nintendo to name but a few. Their transatlantic collaboration has underpinned scores of TV drama scripts, computer games, radio shows, and the best-selling mystery series Cherringham. Their latest series project is called Mydworth Mysteries.

The narrator of the audiobook, Neil Dudgeon, has been in many British television programmes including the roles of 'DCI John Barnaby' in 'Midsomer Murders' and 'Jim Riley' in 'The Life of Riley'. He is also known for his film roles in 'The Nativity', 'Sorted' and 'Son of Rambow'. In 2012 Dudgeon starred as 'Norman Birkett' on BBC Radio 4's Afternoon Play series written by Caroline and David Stafford.
