Sinossi

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.

James E. Carroll

Cross Examination, the second in a series of Jamie Carson Legal Thrillers, confronts financial juggernauts when a biotech company’s IPO and an FDA approval stand at the precipice. The New Tisbury Police arrested the accused, Herbie Jones, after they discovered the weapon in his car used in a Groton bar staying. Jones works for the same biotech company as the slain woman’s boyfriend. Trial lawyer Jamie Carson faces overwhelming evidence when he agrees to defend Jones. Jamie Carson and his partner Stephanie Marx at the BigLaw firm of Ely, Snow & Carson cross the ocean to England and the tax haven Isle of Man searching for evidence that they hope may free their client in front of a Connecticut jury. Cross Examination gives the reader a front row seat to what first-rate lawyers must do to bring justice to a case where others would have failed.
What Others Are Saying About The Jamie Carson Legal Thrillers
“Mitch McDeere, Mickey Haller, Frank Galvin, Jake Brigance; all great characters in the legal thriller genre. Well, you can now add Jamie Carson to that lofty list. In his debut novel, Reasonably Foreseeable, attorney turned author James E. Carroll creates a complex story where the lead character must navigate a volatile legal landscape where the most vulnerable are often chewed up and spit out unless they have a champion willing to risk their career, and even their lives to achieve justice. James E. Carroll has written a taut, propulsive drama that will keep you guessing to the very last page.”
—Casey Sherman, N.Y. Times Bestselling Author of Helltown and A Murder in Hollywood
“Connecticut is called ‘the land of steady habits.’ Not so in the Jamie Carson series. James E. Carroll is a master of narrative who allows the reader to slip into the mind of a brilliant trial lawyer. Like the great writers of legal fiction, Carroll has created a place and an intriguing character who I hope will treat us to courtroom drama in the years to come.” —CT Attorney Steven G. Mednick
