Edgar Wallace
Acerca de esta escucha
A collection of the surviving radio crime dramas from ‘The King of Thrillers’
Edgar Wallace was a bestselling author, journalist, playwright and film director, and the creator of King Kong. A prolific writer and celebrity superstar, he was thought to be responsible for a quarter of all new books read in Britain by the late 1920s. Presented here are full-cast adaptations of four of his classic crime novels, readings of four short detective stories, and vintage recording of Wallace reading one of his own stories. Tying them all together is linking commentary from Edgar Wallace: The Man Who Wrote Too Much?, a documentary celebration of his life and work presented by crime writer Mark Billingham.
The Ringer – Seeking revenge for his sister’s death, vigilante and master of disguise ‘The Ringer’ returns from the dead to target shady lawyer Herbert Meister. Can Scotland Yard catch the legendary assassin before he exacts his vengeance? David Davis and Alexander John star in this tense thriller.
The Mind of Mr JG Reeder – Unassuming civil servant Mr JG Reeder has the mind of a criminal, which he uses to solve four baffling mysteries in 1920s London. ‘The Poetical Policeman’ sees him tackling a bank robbery and a nightwatchman's death; ‘The Troupe’ finds him probing a jewellery fraud with a theatrical link; in ‘The Green Mamba’ he thwarts a notorious villain, and in ‘The Strange Case’, he sets out to uncover the truth behind the death of a government minister. Read by David Horovitch.
On the Spot – Set in 1920s Chicago during Prohibition, Edgar Wallace’s most famous play centres around Tony Perelli, a gangland boss who loads ‘his women with jewels and the coffins of his enemies with orchids’. But Chief of Police John Kelly is after him, determined to see him hang for murder… Starring Peter Woodthorpe as Perelli and Trevor Martin as Kelly.
The Man in the Ditch – A vintage recording from 1928 of Edgar Wallace reading his own short story of murder, intrigue and gangland vengeance.
The Case of the Frightened Lady – The ancestral home of Lord Lebanon, Mark’s Priory, is the scene of two murders. Inspector Tanner goes down to investigate and is confronted by a terrified young woman… Starring Simon Lack, Lewis Stringer, William Eedle and Valerie White.
The Green Pack – West Africa, 1931. When wealthy investor Louis Creet cheats three young explorers out of their rightful share in the goldmine they discovered, they make a deadly pact. Soon after, he is found shot – but did one of them really murder him? David Timson, Paul Gaymon, Peter Egan and Francis de Wolff star.
NB: These stories are set in the 1920s and 1930s, and contain some discriminatory language and attitudes that were perhaps typical of the time. Due to the age and off-air nature of the recordings, the sound quality may vary.

Bartosz and Angelika (he’s a chef, she’s a former sex worker) carry debts to the other couples they don’t even realize they owe. Over fourteen days, the couples bond—but their pasts are too deeply intertwined to stay hidden. The sly concierge, Putu, knows more than he lets on.

Historia
Lana Fleming’s sister has vanished from the set of TV’s hottest show, and no one seems to care. Desperate for answers, Lana sneaks in as an extra, only to get stranded with Griffin Hart, an A-list action star with a reputation for good abs and bad decisions. Though Griffin didn’t expect to be cast as a librarian’s sidekick in a real-life thriller, he’s weirdly into it—and into her. Even more unsettling—she sees right through his playboy persona. But their meet-cute soon turns deadly when they uncover a Hollywood scandal for the ages.
