Publisher's summary

It’s said that the ghost of the Black Abbot has been seen near the old abbey, but that doesn’t deter several of a nobleman’s employees from showing up to find a supposed hidden treasure. Soon, a mysterious hooded figure begins murdering those who may have figured out where the riches are hidden.

Who is the Black Abbott, what is his purpose—and how he is connected to the treasure? From a malevolent ghost to a tangled romance and a plot for revenge, The Black Abbot brings classic, non-stop Edgar Wallace thrills.

Loved it

The story with its characters kept me on the edge of my seat. It was interesting that the author kept developing the characters personalities throughout the story so that you felt differently about them at the end.

A Classic Mystery Novel

I was familiar with Edgar Wallace’s work only from the German Krimi films of the 60’s. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the writing. Wallace had a reputation of grinding out his novels quickly. This was quite entertaining and well read by the narrator.
