Feathered serpent. Edgar Wallace. 2007.

After Miss Ella Creed was knocked out by thieves outside her home, she was terrified. She seem Ed to care little for her lost jewels - they were just a very clever imitation after all - but when she was unconscious a card had been tied round her neck. On it was a crude drawing of a feathered serpent.

Reporter Peter Dewin soon discovers that a wealthy artist, a boxing promoter and a nouveau riche stockbroker share her fear. But why? And who is behind the crimes of The Feathered Serpent?
