The Clue of the Twisted Candle is a thrilling detective novel by British author Edgar Wallace. The story follows the investigation of a mysterious murder that takes place in the heart of London. The victim is a wealthy businessman named Mr. Jacob Mason, who is found dead in his study with a twisted candle nearby. The police suspect that the murderer is someone close to the victim, but they have no concrete evidence.Enter private detective John Lexman, who is hired by Mason's widow to solve the case. Lexman is a brilliant detective, but he is also a suspect in the murder, as he had a motive to kill Mason. As he delves deeper into the case, he uncovers a web of deceit and betrayal that leads him to the real killer.The Clue of the Twisted Candle is a classic whodunit that keeps the reader guessing until the very end. It is a fast-paced and suspenseful novel that will appeal to fans of detective fiction and thrillers. Wallace's writing is crisp and engaging, and his characters are well-drawn and memorable. Overall, this is a must-read for anyone who loves a good mystery.The duties of T. X. were multifarious. People said of him - and like most public gossip, this was probably untrue - that he was the head of the illegal department of Scotland Yard. If by chance you lost the keys of your safe, T. X. could supply you (so popular rumour ran) with a burglar who would open that safe in half an hour.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
