Autor

Edgar Wallace (1875-1932) was a prolific British writer, renowned for his detective and crime fiction, which garnered immense popularity during the early 20th century. Wallace was born into poverty in London and had a turbulent upbringing, which perhaps fueled his narrative inclinations towards the adventurous and the illicit. After a stint in the British Army, he became a journalist, a career that honed his ability to craft succinct, gripping prose. Wallace's remarkable output—over 175 novels, 24 plays, and numerous articles and screenplays—was largely achieved in the two decades before his untimely death. His penchant for fast-paced plots and his proficiency in producing engaging thrillers and detective stories made him one of the most successful writers of his time. Among his acclaimed works, the African Novels stand out for their exotic settings and vivid storytelling, encapsulating Wallace's keen interest in the continent where he had once served in the military. Assembling all 12 African-themed adventures, the 'African Novels: Premium Collection' offers a comprehensive look at Wallace's literary versatility and his ability to transport readers to the heart of the Dark Continent. Wallace's literary style is often characterized by a heady mix of suspense, crime, and action, elements that assured his enduring legacy among crime fiction aficionados.
