Herbert Armstrong, Poisoner
Summary
Richard Horatio Edgar Wallace (1875-1932) was an English writer of 957 short stories and over 170 novels. He is widely recognised as one of the most prolific writers of his age. Herbert Armstrong was a Welsh solicitor who murdered his wife by administering arsenic. His life was marked by love affairs and dubious business dealings. It is also probable that his hatred of his dull, respectable existence in a tiny rural village was one of the motives for his terrible crime. This story of the crime and trial of Armstrong is told by Edgar Wallace, who reported from the courtroom. On behalf of a newspaper syndicate, Wallace offered the convicted man £5,000 for his confession. The offer was refused.

Der Preller - Kurzgeschichten 4
Summary
Gerd Köster, Sänger, Autor, Performer und gefragter Hörbuch-Sprecher setzt seine Hörbuchreihe mit Kriminalromanen des legendären, britischen Autors Edgar Wallace fort. Im sechsten Band liest er die nächsten drei Kurzgeschichten aus Der Preller (englischer Originaltitel: The Mixer). Der Preller ist clever, gerissen und schlauer als die Polizei erlaubt. Dementsprechend wird er auch nie gefasst. Von edlen Motiven ist hier nichts zu sehen. Von der ersten Geschichte an stellt sich der Preller als jemand vor, der sich vom Staat betrogen fühlt, nichts mehr von ihm erwartet und nun auf eigene Rechnung arbeitet.
