She inherited a fortune--& sinister misfortune...Young, wealthy and beautiful Edna Gray suddenly found herself, like a fly, caught in a web of sinister intrigue. New to the racing game, she found that one of her tenants, Elijah Goodie--the famous racing owner and trainer--was indulging in strange, nocturnal activities...And alone in the dark Perrywig Caves--she awaited a horrible death.
As Edgar Wallace thrillers go, this one isn't bad mainly because the plot is halfway believable. Criminals have set up syndicates to cheat at the races. However Edgar Wallace can't resist adding a few over-the-top flourishes to this basic story--his chief villain is slain by panthers!
