About this ebook

Recently released from prison, John Gray visits his old friend Peter Kane. Although it is the day of his daughter's wedding, Kane agrees to an audience with Emanuel Legg, the criminal and cop-killer with whom he has some business. Gray wanders into the garden and a tornado of fury sweeps through him. The debonair Major Floyd, the new husband to whom Kane has entrusted his precious daughter, is a fraudster of the most sinister kind.

    John Gray, a moderately wealthy gentleman who was set up for having supposedly cheated riding in a horse race and sent to Dartmoor, comes out seeking vegence on the man who sent him there --and finds himself aided in his quest by the seemingly innocuous J.G. Reeder. There is a brief introduction on Edgar Wallace's life by Penelope Wallace.

    OK, you got me. Did not see that coming, but wanted to slap myself for NOT seeing it coming. Would have given it three stars, but the ending bumped it up a little. Very slangy bit of zeitgeist that didn't age all that well, but good fun and a surprise ending.
