The Double by Edgar Wallace audiobook.
Genre: mystery
Newly promoted Detective Inspector Richard (Dick) Staines of Scotland Yard has built a reputation on patience, precision, and an uncanny feel for the small details other men miss. Then, on a storm-lashed night in fashionable Belgravia, one desperate decision pulls him into a case unlike any in his career: trapped outside an acquaintance's house, Staines forces his way in and stumbles upon a scene of quiet horror - a man bound and blindfolded while a woman in an evening gown calmly rifles his pockets. When she turns, Staines recognizes her as a gentle young nurse he met only hours earlier. Before he can make sense of what he is seeing, the darkness closes in. The next clues are even stranger: a single thumbprint that echoes an unsolved case from years ago, a series of crimes that feel planned with surgical care, and a shadowy scheme built on misdirection, impersonation, and the terror of being replaced. As Staines closes in, he must separate truth from performance and discover who is real, who is a decoy, and why someone is determined to make London doubt its own eyes.
