Dieses Buch ist eine Sammlung von Edgar Wallace' schönsten Geschichten: Der Fall Stretell, Das Diamantenklavier, Doktor Kay, Der Selbstmörder, Indizienbeweis. Excerpt: "Detektivinspektor John Mackenzie hatte seinen Abschied eingereicht, und die Zeitungen brachten aus diesem Anlaß viele Berichte über ihn und seine Erfolge. Seine direkten Vorgesetzten wunderten sich, welche Gründe ihn zu dem vorzeitigen Rücktritt veranlaßt haben mochten. Aber alle Vermutungen waren falsch; kein Mensch ahnte die eigentliche Ursache. Mackenzie wußte nämlich nicht mehr, wie er in dem Widerstreit zwischen Pflicht und Gerechtigkeitssinn handeln sollte, und wählte deshalb den Ausweg, sein Amt niederzulegen.”
