The Angel of Terror

‘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.
