Description
The Ringer was supposed to be dead. Now the notorious killer walks the streets of London again. His mission: vengeance for his sister's murder. Scotland Yard Inspector Wembury and police doctor Lomond investigate, but this villain is a master of disguise ...
In this classic crime thriller, Edgar Wallace blends a well-paced story with delightfully crafted characters, and it's no surprise, that
The Ringer (1926) has been adapted as a cult movie more than once.

- »Übrigens: Bevor ich Der Hexer das erste Mal gelesen habe, hatte ich dreißig Jahre lang keinen Roman außer Sherlock Holmes angeschaut. Um die Stimmung einzufangen, habe ich eine zerlesene, fleckige, brüchige Ausgabe aus dem Jahr 1952 bestellt und in einem totenstillen Hotelzimmer in einem Rutsch durchgelesen. Ergebnis: Das Buch vom Hexer funktioniert ganz wunderbar.« Mark Benecke
