Terror Keep
John Flack, called Crazy John, has spent six years in Broadmoor writing a treatise on crime in dozens of exercise books, including a chapter on robbing a bank vault when only two guards are employed. When he escapes, the one man he wants is the mild, umbrella-carrying Mr. J. G. Reeder of the Public Prosecutor's office, who put him there. The chase leads to Larmes Keep, a cliff-top hotel in Kent with a long history, where Reeder's young friend Margaret Belman has just taken a post. Edgar Wallace published the novel in 1927; it is the first full-length book about Reeder, his most quietly dangerous detective. It is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, with the first chapter free.
