The Troupe

Episode 2 of 4

The detective tackles a jewellery fraud, with a theatrical link to a transatlantic visitor to London. Read by David Horovitch.

Intrigued by the arrival in London of a transatlantic visitor he knows to have managed a troupe of actors, Mr JG Reeder tries to get to the bottom of a jewellery fraud.

Read by David Horovitch

Mr JG Reeder's novel methods bring the criminals of 1920s London to justice.

Created by Edgar Wallace, he is a uniquely English detective. An apparent fuddy-duddy working in some obscure capacity in the Public Prosecutor's office, he actually has a razor-sharp intellect and is a super-sleuth.

Mr JG Reeder solves his mysteries because he fully understands the "criminal mind".

Abridged by Neville Teller.
