Description
Walter Fetherston was a writer of breathless mystery but he was the essence of mystery himself. Once the reader took up a book of his he never laid it down until he had read the final chapter. You, my reader, have more than once found yourself beneath his strange spell. And what was the secret of his success? He had been asked by numberless interviewers, and to them all he had made the same stereotyped reply: “I live the mysteries I write.”
Writer of detective stories, Walter Featherston is himself a mystery to all his friends. To some he’s a seasoned traveller known in society circles all over the continent. To the police he is known as “Mr Maltwood” with ready access to the upper echelons of Scotland Yard and the Sûreté Générale in Paris, his knowledge of criminology and his success in the pursuit of criminals recognised internationally.
The Doctor of Pimlico is Dr Weirmarsh, by vocation a practising surgeon on the Vauxhall Bridge Road, close to Victoria Station but by avocation, controller of an international gang of master criminals, engaged in schemes of remarkable ingenuity, unscrupulously using General Sir Hugh Elcombe to his own ends with Elcombe’s step-daughter, Enid, unable to escape his hypnotic clutches too. Who is the mysterious doctor of Pimlico, and what is the strange hold that he has over people?
