Many years ago the Monrovian Government sent one Bosambo, a native of the Kroo coast and consequently a thief, to penal servitude for the term of his natural life. Bosambo, who had other views on the matter, was given an axe and a saw in the penal settlement - which was a patch of wild forest in the back country - and told to cut down and trim certain mahogany-trees in company with other unfortunate men similarly circumstanced.

Stories are one of mankind’s greatest artistic achievements. Whether written down or spoken they have an ability to capture our imagination and thoughts, and take us on incredible journeys in the space of a phrase and the turn of a page.Within a few words of text or speech, new worlds and characters form, propelling a narrative to a conclusion with intricate ease. Finely crafted, perfectly formed these Miniature Masterpieces, at first thought, seem remarkably easy to conjure up. But ask any writer and they will tell you that distilling the essence of narrative and characters into a short story is one of the hardest acts of their literary craft. Many attempt, but few achieve.
Gerd Köster, Sänger, Autor, Performer und gefragter Hörbuch-Sprecher setzt seine Hörbuchreihe mit Kriminalromanen des legendären, britischen Autors Edgar Wallace fort. In den Bänden 13 bis 19 wird jeweils eine der sieben 'Kriminalgeschichten' erzählt: Das Diamantenklavier, Der Fall Stratelli, Der Selbstmörder, Der unbekannte Boxer, Doktor Kay, Harry mit den Handschuhen und Indizienbeweis. Über Kösters Sprecherqualitäten schrieb die 'Buchkritik': 'Köster wechselt - je nach Stimmung und Figur - immer wieder die Tonlage und schafft so schon fast ein Ein-Personen-Hörspiel. Ein ganzes Ensemble von Sprechern könnte es kaum besser machen.'

Eine Verbrecherbande, genannt 'Die Frösche', terrorisiert ganz London. Ihre Mitglieder zeichnet alle eine Frosch-Tätowierung. Hauptmann Richard Gordon und Sergeant Elk machen sich auf die Jagd.
Gerd Köster, Sänger, Autor, Performer und gefragter Hörbuch-Sprecher setzt seine neue Hörbuchreihe mit Kriminalromanen des legendären, britischen Autors Edgar Wallace fort. Im dritten Teil liest er die ersten 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. Schon in der ersten Geschichte stellt sich der Preller als jemand vor, der sich vom Staat betrogen fühlt, nichts mehr von ihm erwartet und nun auf eigene Rechnung arbeitet.
