About the author

Born Richard Horatio Edgar Wallace in Greenwich on April 1, 1875, he became one of Britain’s most prolific writers of crime and adventure fiction. His work included more than 170 novels, hundreds of short stories, stage plays, newspaper articles, and the popular J. G. Reeder detective stories.

Wallace began his career as a journalist and war correspondent before turning to fiction full time. His direct, suspenseful style made his books widely popular, while titles such as The Green Archer helped establish his lasting reputation in thriller fiction.

In the final years of his life, Wallace moved to Hollywood and worked as a scriptwriter for RKO. He wrote an early screenplay and story for King Kong before his death in Beverly Hills on February 10, 1932.
