Kate plus ten

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.

“Kate Plus Ten” by Edgar Wallace presents an irresistible blend of high-stakes crime, elegance, and intellectual thrill. At the heart of the story stands Kate Wasthanger — young, poised, and unnervingly brilliant — a criminal strategist whose mind outpaces Scotland Yard. With ten loyal and capable men at her command, Kate orchestrates a series of audacious thefts, fraudulent operations, and dazzling deceptions, all while maintaining the appearance of a refined, upper-class lady.


Wallace, a master of the early 20th-century crime genre, crafts a narrative that is as much about wit and cunning as it is about suspense and action. Set against a backdrop of opulent mansions, bustling harbors, and twisting railways, the plot moves with brisk precision. Yet what makes the tale so compelling is its central figure — a woman who defies expectations, challenges the legal system, and bends societal norms to her will.


This is not a story of brute force, but of sharp intellect, daring plans, and impeccable timing. Kate is no ordinary criminal; she is a tactician, a mastermind — commanding respect from both allies and adversaries. Through Wallace’s brisk prose and tightly plotted sequences, readers are led into a world where every move is calculated, and every misstep could be fatal.


Elegant, clever, and gripping, Kate Plus Ten stands as a distinctive entry in the canon of classic crime fiction — showcasing not just the excitement of the chase, but the cool precision of a woman who stays three steps ahead.
