The young secretary Meghan Milton is found hanged in her room. This throws Scotland Yard into turmoil – not because there are doubts about the young woman's suicide, but because Meghan is the sister of Henry Arthur Milton.
Milton, also known publicly as "The Warlock," is one of England's most wanted criminals. He blames Meghan's boss, the sleazy lawyer Maurice Messer, for her death. The police suspect that the Warlock has left his hideout to settle the score with Messer.
Inspector Alan Wembury is tasked with preventing the crime. He's joined by a top-notch team, including the only police officer who has ever seen the Witcher and one of the world's leading behavioral psychologists. Together, they plan to capture the Witcher. But that won't be easy, because the Witcher is a master of disguise.
Can Wembury and his team prevent the murder? Whom can they trust? And above all: Who is the sorcerer? Edgar Wallace's most famous crime story adapted for the stage. A gripping tale with unexpected twists, sparkling humor, and suspense until the very last second.
