Description

Very few mysteries will keep you as fascinated and challenge your logic as much as The Green Rust. This enticing and intricate tale, reminiscent of modern James Bond movies, will scarcely seem like the type of mystery that would be written in the late 1910s. Nevertheless, Edgar Wallace’s book was penned in 1919, and it will delight you with scenes from the early 20th century, and an engaging plot far removed from the common drawing room murder plots that used to dominate the crime stories of the time.

Even though the plot develops slowly at first, you’ll find yourself immersed into this fun and interesting melodrama without much effort. The story itself opens with a mysterious murder that will instantly get you hooked. While the following explanations and slower plot developments seem like they might slow down the story too much, you’ll soon be propelled into the life of Olivia Cresswell, and led through the mysterious happenings she is faced with after she meets the mysterious Mr. Beale – a self-described merchant who is in need of her services, offering her a position as his personal secretary.

Olivia is, in fact, the lost niece of a wealthy millionaire who asks his attorney for one last favor before his death. Although imminent, the moment of death comes sooner as the man is mysteriously killed.

Fraught with interesting, complex characters, a deep plot involving a criminal that may be threatening the foundation of Western civilization itself, and a young “damsel in distress” who may be the key to the whole story, The Green Rust is definitely ahead of its time. If you’re looking for an exciting thriller with a mystery that will captivate you and keep you reading with interest to the very last page, this engaging story by Edgar Wallace will entirely fit the profile.
