About the author

Edgar Wallace (1875–1932) was a British writer known for tightly plotted, suspenseful popular fiction. The library holds 13 of his works, including The Angel of Terror, The Secret House, The Daffodil Mystery, Sanders of the River, Jack O' Judgment, The Clue of the Twisted Candle, The Keepers of the King's Peace, and Bones: Being Further Adventures in Mr. Commissioner Sanders' Country. His writing often blends crime, detective, and colonial-adventure elements, with brisk pacing and frequent twists that keep readers in suspense. Within the library's categories, some of his works are classed as inspirational and personal growth, though his narrative strength lies chiefly in mystery and adventure. He was widely influential in early twentieth-century English popular literature, and his works were widely circulated and adapted. Public information on the details of his life and nationality is limited, so no speculation is offered here.
