# Olga Crewe — Terror Keep character guide

> Olga Crewe in Terror Keep by Edgar Wallace.

**Role:** supporting

**Also known as:** Miss Crewe, Crewe

**First appearance:** 0003-i

## Snapshot

A young woman promised marble palaces and the finest husband in the land by a father whose love is as genuine as his madness, and whose plans for her future are the reason he came out at all.

## Who they are

Olga listens patiently while old John Flack spins his golden visions of her marriage and her white-marble house, answering yes, Father, in a voice that has gone flat. She is the object of a madman's fierce, transfiguring tenderness and the pivot of a scheme that has already cost lives. When she speaks of Ravini, her color comes and goes, and Reeder's gentle questions find more truth in her than she means to give.
