The Secret House
Edgar Wallace
Description
T. B. Smith, Assistant Commissioner of Police, suspects that the murder of two foreigners is connected to Montague Fallock, a notorious blackmailer of prominent British citizens. Suspicion points to a wealthy businessman, who subsequently disappears, leaving a suicide note and a vast fortune to his ward, Doris. The investigation leads to a small country village and a secret house built by a wealthy hermit who is not what he seems. Who is the blackmailer and who is the victim?
