4. The Strange Case

Episode 4 of 4

When a wealthy government minister dies, Edgar Wallace's detective sets out to uncover the truth. Read by David Horovitch.

A wealthy government minister is defrauded of a large sum of money and suspects his wastrel nephew.

Then he's murdered, so Mr JG Reeder sets out uncover the truth.

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 November 2007.
