A man ends up stabbed to death on a street in London’s Tidal Basin, victim of the almost mythical murderer roaming the streets of London, the Devil of Tidal Basin. But why is another bandit suddenly sighted in Tidal Basin as well? What connection had the Devil with White Face? Superintendent Mason, one of the Yard’s Big Five wanted to know, and what Superintendent Mason wanted to know he generally found out. Criminals knew him as „Sympathetic” Mason, because of his curious methods of cross-examination. This is Edgar Wallace at his best – and Edgar Wallace is known the world over as „the king” of mystery writers. „White Face” involves more mystery than a number of his novels and recommended for people who like to treat a mystery story as a solvable riddle.
