About this book
The Black Abbot is a mystery thriller by Edgar Wallace, one of the most prolific and popular authors of his day, first published in 1926. The story unfolds at Chelford, the crumbling estate of a young earl obsessed with a family legend of hidden treasure and haunted by the ghostly figure of a black-robed abbot said to walk the ruins. Around him move a scheming secretary, a devoted brother, and the woman they both admire, while blackmail, madness, and murder gather beneath the surface. Wallace drives the plot forward with the speed and cliffhanging turns that sold his books by the million.
