This action-packed page-turner will keep you hooked until the end. A must-read for fans of James Bond, Alfred Hitchcock, and John Buchan. Born in London, Edgar Wallace (1875 â 1932) was an English writer so prolific, that his publisher claimed that he was responsible for a quarter of all books sold in England. He worked as a war correspondent after joining the army at age 21, which honed his writing abilities. This led to the creation of his first book, âThe Four Just Men.â Wallace is best remembered as the co-creator of âKing Kong,â which has been adapted for film 12 times (most notably directed by âLord of the Ringsâ director, Peter Jackson, and starring Jack Black and Naomi Watts). However, he leaves behind an extensive body of work, including stories such as âThe Crimson Circleâ and âThe Flying Squad.â
