# Lew Kohl — The Mind of Mr. J. G. Reeder character guide

> Lew Kohl in The Mind of Mr. J. G. Reeder by Edgar Wallace.

**Role:** supporting

**Also known as:** Kohl

**First appearance:** 0000-the-poetical-policeman

## Snapshot

A dangerous figure in Reeder's criminal underworld, the kind of antagonist who makes the mild detective's quiet methods necessary.

## Who they are

Kohl belongs to the shadow world Reeder maps through private files and old police records, the men whose watches turn up in the wrong pockets years later. He is the sort of adversary who justifies Reeder's habit of working in an office where the clock ticks and the paper rustles, rather than announcing himself. His presence raises the stakes of the Sellington swindle from a family embarrassment into something with teeth.
