About the author
Born in London in 1875, Edgar Wallace grew up in difficult circumstances and left school young. He worked a string of jobs, later served in the army, and became a journalist and war correspondent in South Africa before turning to fiction.
Wallace became one of the most prolific and successful popular writers of his era, producing crime novels, adventure stories, plays, and screen work at remarkable speed. He was especially admired for energetic plotting and cliffhanger momentum, and his stories reached a huge international audience.
He died in 1932 in Hollywood while working in the film world. Even though his name is less famous now than it once was, his blend of mystery, danger, and pace left a lasting mark on thriller writing.
