En su último día como detective, Dick Martin recibe el encargo de comprobar las coartadas de un ladrón profesional e investigar el robo de un libro en la biblioteca Bellingham. No sospechaba que ambos casos estaban realcionados y que afectarían grandemente los planes que había concebido para su vida futura. La puerta de las siete cerraduras es una de las novelas más relevantes de Edgar Wallace dentro del género thriller, reúne muchos de los elementos que hacen irresistible para el lector este tipo de novelas: unas misteriosas tumbas, un científico que experimenta sin piedad con humanos, unos codiciosos ladrones capaces de asesinar y una puerta que para ser abierta necesita que se hagan girar simultáneamente siete antiguas llaves. En las novelas de Wallace los elementos del enigma están diluidos en la acción; son sucesos aparentemente incongruentes, y es precisamente esta incongruencia la que estimula la curiosidad del lector. Solo al final encajan las piezas del rompecabezas, y una nueva lectura de la narración pone de relieve que los indicios ya habían sido expuestos, y de manera tan evidente que resulta admirable cómo el lector no había caído en la cuenta de su significado.
