[Edgar Wallace 93] • Lotterie des Todes

Blurb from an early edition:

The Green Pack as a play, was successfully produced in London in 1932, but unhappily it's famous author did not live to write the story in novel form. He had, however, discussed with his secretary, Robert Curtis, the lines on which he intended to write the book, and Mr. Curtis now tells, with compelling brilliance, his chief's last novel.

It is the story of wealthy Louis Creet, who deserved murdering for the things he had done to Jacqueline and her lover. And one day in a stuffy African bungalow three men sat with a green pack of cards - and whoever drew the ace of spades was to murder Creet. The discovery of the murderer comes as a smashing climax to a long and thrilling tale of murder and passion.
