The driver leant over the shining apron which partially protected him from the weather, and shouted: "Is Miss Beale there?" The girl started in surprise, taking a step toward the cab. "I am Miss Beale," she said. "Your editor has sent me for you," said the man briskly. The editor of the Megaphone had been guilty of many eccentric acts. He had expressed views on her drawing which she shivered to recall. He had aroused her in the middle of the night to sketch dresses at a fancy dress ball, but never before had he done anything so human as to send a taxi for her. Nevertheless, she would not look at the gift cab too closely, and she stepped into the warm interior. The windows were veiled with the snow and the sleet which had been falling all the time she had been in the theatre. She saw blurred lights flash past, and realised that the taxi was going at a good pace. She rubbed the windows and tried to look out after a while

Angelically beautiful Jean Briggerland is a sociopathic criminal, so lovely that none can see her guilt -- even in connection with the most blatant crimes! Can Jack Glover, best friend and lawyer to Jean's latest victim, bring her to justice before she murders her way to unspeakable wealth and power?
‘Angel of Terror’ is a tale of the femme fatale, a vast family fortune and the lengths people will go for money. Behind the mask of this sweet faced, beautiful woman is a cold, unflinching ‘Angel of Terror’ who will manipulate and bend those around her to her will with her forked tongue. It is an incredibly fast-paced book, with a riveting plot and phenomenal dialogue, intersected with bouts of humour and satire. It is a perfect read for anyone who loved ABC’s award winning show ‘Revenge’. Edgar Wallace (1875-1932) was an English writer, poet and journalist. He was such a prolific writer that his publisher claimed his work could account for a quarter of all books sold in England. He wrote countless books, screenplays, poems and historical non-fiction, spawning over one hundred and sixty films based on his work. He unfortunately passed away suddenly before he could see his most famous creation ‘King Kong’ come to life. It has been adapted several times over the years, notably by Peter Jackson of Lord of the Rings fame, and more recently in ‘Godzilla vs Kong’ starring Millie Bobby Brown.

"The Angel of Terror is an almost formulaic crime thriller, but the brilliant characterization and unusual twists and turns make it a gripping read."-Loyal Books "There is a very good reason to read The Angel of Terror: the angel herself. I don't think I have yet encountered such a strong female villain...intelligent, capable, implacable, and daring.

A piercing, unforgettable love story set in Greenwood, Oklahoma, also known as the “Black Wall Street,” and against the Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921. Isaiah Wilson is, on the surface, a town troublemaker, but is hiding that he is an avid reader and secret poet, never leaving home without his journal. Angel Hill is a loner, mostly disregarded by her peers as a goody-goody. Her father is dying, and her family’s financial situation is in turmoil. Though they’ve attended the same schools, Isaiah never noticed Angel as anything but a dorky, Bible toting church girl. Then their English teacher offers them a job on her mobile library, a three-wheel, two-seater bike. Angel can’t turn down the money and Isaiah is soon eager to be in such close quarters with Angel every afternoon. But life changes on May 31, 1921 when a vicious white mob storms the Black community of Greenwood, leaving the town destroyed and thousands of residents displaced. Only then, Isaiah, Angel, and their peers realize who their real enemies are.
We know early on in The Angel of Terror who is willing to cause mayhem and why, so the question is can the responsible parties be brought to justice? Because the main villain is cold-blooded, extremely cunning, and possesses a cleverly evil mind. Angel of Terror is not a very satisfying title, but it begins with excitement when James Meredith's death sentence is commuted to life in prison. The crime is the murder of Ferdinand Bulford, the reason for the jealousy of Bulford's behavior towards Jean Briggerland, Meredith's cousin and fiancée; it is remarkable how many couples in the novels of this era are engaged or marry their cousins. But I digress. Meredith's friend Jack Glover, Rennett, Glover, and Simpson's junior partner has vowed to prove Meredith's innocence when he attempts to kidnap orphan Lydia Beale, who works as a fashion illustrator for a newspaper. Miss Beale is in dire financial straits, having voluntarily taken on the task of paying off her late father's huge debts, and has been tormented by a constant procession of subpoenas against her as a result - seventy-five in both previous years. While they are taking her in a taxi from which she cannot escape, Glover and Rennett suddenly appear, rescue her and take her to Dulwich Grange, the home of senior partner Charles Rennett. There she is asked an astonishing question: would she be willing to marry Meredith, who is at large with the collusion of Glover and Bennett and is in the house? If she agrees, her husband will not bother her, she will be handed over and returned to prison, but she will receive £ 20,000 when the nuptials are done and £ 5,000 a year thereafter for the rest of her life. Meredith's reasons for wanting to go through such a marriage are strong, but it must take place the following Monday. Despite her financial difficulties, we have already learned that Miss Beale is not a gold digger, but a decent young woman, so the reader is not put off by her eventual agreement with the strange proposal. And so Meredith and Miss Beale are married the next morning at Rennett's residence. Moments later, Jean Briggerland appears out of nowhere, and then Meredith finds herself in the garden, an apparent suicide. Having made her will while in the house during the night, Miss Beale or rather Mrs. Meredith inherits her wealth but is in great danger as a consequence. Now it's the count-ho as the villains make one attempt after another to dispatch her.
