About this listen

Number Seventeen begins as a reference to a London apartment belonging to a young widow who is mysteriously strangled off-scene. The story takes a thrilling turn as her neighbor, novelist Frank Theydon, and millionaire philanthropist James Forbes unite to hunt down the culprit. As the story unfolds, a chilling secret behind the number seventeen is revealed. The narrative is deeply intertwined with international themes, discussing the potential risks of advancements in air technology. The story resonates with the fear of the Yellow Peril, reflecting the rising power of Japan, China, and other Asian countries. The characters from law enforcement, Chief Superintended Winter and Inspector Furneaux, present a fascinating contrast. While Winter is large, affable, and straightforward, Furneaux is small, intuitive, and often unpredictable. This riveting story was thoughtfully summarized by Kirsten Wever.
