The novel chronicles the discovery of a murdered scholar and the subsequent unravelling of a web of criminal conspiracy that reaches far beyond the dreaming spires, ensnaring those who dare to investigate in mortal danger.\n\nWallace, one of the most prolific and influential crime writers of the early twentieth century, illustrates his trademark mastery of pace and plot in a story that never relents. His prose is lean, atmospheric, and relentlessly propulsive — a style that defined the golden age of British crime fiction and made him a household name across the English-speaking world. Those who think they know the villain will find themselves deliciously wrong before the final page is turned.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49130586177755,"sku":"2026100007653-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/8bd7b122-79f2-49f5-8d90-410919645381.png?v=1786586874","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100007653-secondhand-the-sinister-man","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
