Girl From Scotland Yard

Edgar Wallace

Girl From Scotland Yard

Girl From Scotland Yard

Edgar Wallace

In 1920s London, a woman solves crimes she isn't legally allowed to commit. Leslie Maughn works as an advisor to Scotland Yard, a clever workaround for an institution that refuses to recognize her abilities. When a brutal murder rocks Mayfair and a recently released convict becomes the obvious suspect, Leslie must navigate a web of deception involving the mysterious Druze family, a missing piece of priceless jewelry, and a young girl whose suffering no one seems willing to acknowledge. Peter Dawlish faces the hangman's noose if Leslie cannot prove his innocence in time. Wallace weaves his signature reversals and red herrings into a story that champions the outsider while exposing how easily the guilty go free when the System has already decided.
