Book Description
Edgar Wallace was one of the most prolific authors of the twentieth century. He wrote nearly 200 novels, hundreds of short stories and newspaper articles, 40 plays, and directed some 25 film versions of his books. In 1920s England, one out of every four books sold was written by Edgar Wallace. He would sit in his study for days on end, without sleep, dictating an average of 3,000 words per hour, while drinking fresh pots of heavily sweetened tea every half hour, and chain smoking cigarettes. The Diary of J. G. Reeder features one of Wallace's most famous investigators, as he looks at the seamy side of life.
