À propos de ce livre

In The Melody of Death, Edgar Wallace weaves a gripping tale of mystery, romance, and deception beneath the gaslit skies of Edwardian London. When a daring jewel heist disrupts the city's elite, a mysterious masked figure intervenes, leaving behind more questions than answers. Gilbert Standerton, a young man tormented by financial anxiety and a cold engagement to the ambitious Edith Cathcart, finds his life entangled with a band of jewel thieves, a haunting street melody, and a string of crimes that unravel the very fabric of high society.

As Gilbert drifts between duty and desire, wealth and ruin, his path intersects with a shadowy underworld and a beautiful street musician whose song seems to echo from the past—and possibly foretell his fate. Love, loyalty, and danger intertwine in this moody crime romance from one of Britain’s most prolific thriller writers.

Narrated with dramatic flair by Sumara Meers, this lesser-known gem from Edgar Wallace delivers suspense, scandal, and an unforgettable melody that lingers long after the final note.
