3. The Green Mamba

Episode 3 of 4

The 1920s detective tackles a jewellery heist of emeralds and hounds a notorious gangland villain. Read by David Horovitch.

The emeralds of Suliman are stolen in North Africa and brought to London.

But the "mamba" (Mr JG Reeder) sets out thwart the thieves' plans as he hounds a notorious gangland villain...

Read by David Horovitch

Mr JG Reeder's novel methods bring the criminals of 1920s London to justice.

Created by Edgar Wallace, he is a uniquely English detective. An apparent fuddy-duddy working in some obscure capacity in the Public Prosecutor's office, he actually has a razor-sharp intellect and is a super-sleuth.

Mr JG Reeder solves his mysteries because he fully understands the "criminal mind".

Abridged by Neville Teller.

Producer: Gemma Jenkins

Made for BBC Radio 7 and first broadcast in October 2007.
