The Phantom of Soho

Twenty years before Dario Argento’s Tenebrae, a murder mystery novelist teamed with Scotland Yard to unravel a string of brutal killings in the fog-shrouded Bryan Edgar Wallace proto-giallo The Phantom of Soho. As a masked madman slays a series of British businessmen, the unlikely detective duo have to put together the pieces before they, too, find themselves on the other end of the killer’s knife. Featuring stylish ultrascope photography and a sleek ‘60s jazz score, The Phantom of Soho is a superior entry in the German krimi cycle.
