| 520 | _a"Angel Esquire" by Edgar Wallace is a mystery novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Angel Esquire, an unorthodox officer at Scotland Yard, who is embroiled in a complex investigation involving a hidden fortune, a cryptic verse, and a series of nefarious characters, including the cunning Jimmy Stannard and the dubious Patrick Connor. The plot combines elements of intrigue, suspense, and crime as these characters navigate their way through a web of deception and greed. The opening of the novel introduces the reader to the concept of a great safe that contains the fortune of the deceased gambler, Old Reale. It details the reading of Old Reale’s will, revealing that several characters, including Jimmy Stannard and members of the notorious "Borough Lot" gang, are in pursuit of his wealth, the secret of which lies within a doggerel verse acting as a cryptogram. Tensions rise as various characters, driven by their ambitions, prepare to outsmart one another, setting the stage for a thrilling and unpredictable tale filled with twists and turns.
