The Fourth Crime Club Omnibus: The Devil Man / Mystery at Friar's Pardon / Death Comes to Perigord / Dead Man's Watch

"IN this Fourth Omnibus the Crime Club continues its
policy of offering its most successful publications
embodied in one volume. Here you will find four out-
standing detective books for the price of one—7s. 6d.
The Devil Man is, as Edgar Wallace said himself, ‘‘ the
best story I have ever written.” The Mystery at Friar’s
Pardon was the book with which we introduced Martin
Porlock to detective fiction readers—the book that
showed so clearly the promise which has since been
fulfilled by his latest book—X v. Rex—which is not only
selected by the Crime Club, but also recommended by
the Book Society. In Death Comes to Perigord, by John
Ferguson, we have a thrilling story which has the
romantic beauty of the Channel Islands for its back-
ground. It is an unusual story with an unexpected
climax, and keeps the reader’s interest and excitement
well maintained until the end. Finally we have Dead
Man’s Watch—another of Mr. and Mrs. Cole’s baffling
mystery stories. It is a first-rate Superintendent Wilson
yarn, which keeps the reader guessing right
up until the last moment."
