Jean Briggerland is, by every account, the most beautiful and charming woman in London — which is exactly what makes her so dangerous. As a string of convenient deaths clears her path to a fortune, only the sharp-eyed lawyer Jack Glover suspects that beneath the angelic surface lies a mind capable of orchestrating murder without ever dirtying her own hands. Edgar Wallace, the era's most prolific master of crime fiction, built a career on breathless plotting and villains you can't look away from — and Jean Briggerland remains one of his most chilling creations. A vintage thriller that still knows exactly how to keep you guessing.
