Pubblicato nel 1922, questo “giallo” che fa parte della prolifica vena di Edgar Wallace dimostra, di fronte al lettore di oggi, tutta la sua età. Incoerenze, ingenuità, colpi di scena improbabili e sopra le righe, fino al surrealismo, che, però, fanno venire il dubbio (più che giustificato, se confrontato con le altre opere dello scrittore) che Wallace stesso abbia voluto ironizzare sullo stereotipo della donna “bellissima e spietata”. Ma soprattutto, dietro queste pagine, c’è tutta Hollywood, per cui Wallace ha scritto molte sceneggiature.

From the moment a crazed Nazi Doctor set foot in Chicago, he knew he was in the right place to finish the experiments he had started but never completed. His work began at a death camp, a camp of horrors in which he reigned with his own brand of terror.

For this Nazi had the most beloved memory a man can have...the feeling of exhilaration as another's fear turns to panic.
