About this audiobook
Wallace, a master British storyteller, creates a fascinating tale. It tells of the fictional mystery author, John Lexdale, who is caught in a plot concocted by an unscrupulous millionaire. The fictional author is entrapped in the strange circumstances, becomes charged with murder and sentenced to prison. At one point he is told his wife has been killed and pledges revenge. He has a Scotland Yard friend, Commisioner T. X. Meredith, who is summoned to combat the highly unusual case. Referred to only by his initials, T. X. manages to thwart the culprit, who winds up being killed himself. The highly unusual aspects will keep you bewildered as you listen and become spellbound.
