Both the Duke de Richleau and Gregory Sallust took assignments for Sir Pellinore Gwaine-Cust, and Wheatley also had a recurring villain named Lord Gavin Fortescue. The first Sallust novel, BLACK AUGUST, takes place in a world where World War II never happened, but the other books in the series fit into CU continuity. Besides those connections and the references in TO THE DEVIL A DAUGHTER, the Sallust novel THE SCARLET IMPOSTOR features Jean de Brissac from Wheatley's non-series novel UNCHARTED SEAS.Sean Levinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17338199695708410919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3401214402679376943.post-63989760323273394412014-12-10T09:23:35.391-08:002014-12-10T09:23:35.391-08:00Are all of the Dennis Wheatley books set in the sa...Are all of the Dennis Wheatley books set in the same universe? I dimly remember reading about a book that contained a serial Wheatley character but was set in a dystopian future of sorts. I might be wrong, though.
