Plot

Strange fortune hunters are behind a girl's murder in this Edgar Wallace tale.

Sinekatalog’s take

A German crime entry in the Edgar Wallace cycle, with fortune hunters, a murdered girl and a cast of suspicious figures. Expect shadowy atmosphere and brisk plotting over realism. Fun for fans of pulpy whodunit thrillers.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
