Produktinformationen zu „The Thief in the Night and Other Stories (ePub)“

Fast-paced and fun, 'The Thief in the Night and Other Stories' is a collection of six tales from the pen of one of the 20th Century's most prolific writers.The title story follows Inspector Jack Danton as he investigates a proliferation of poison pen letters and thefts to and from wealthy young debutantes. Other novelettes, such as 'Findings are Keepings' and 'The Compleat Criminal,' are laced with Wallace's trademark wit and critical appraisal of life in the upper echelons during the early 20th century.A superb read for fans of Wallace's body of work.-

Autoren-Porträt von Edgar Wallace

Born in London, Edgar Wallace (1875 - 1932) was an English writer so prolific, that his publisher claimed that he was responsible for a quarter of all books sold in England.Leaving school at the age of 12, Wallace made his first steps into the literary world by selling newspapers on the corner of Fleet Street.He worked as a war correspondent after joining the army at age 21, which honed his writing abilities. This led to the creation of his first book, 'The Four Just Men.'Wallace is best remembered as the co-creator of 'King Kong,' which has been adapted for film 12 times (most notably directed by 'Lord of the Rings' director, Peter Jackson, and starring Jack Black and Naomi Watts).However, he leaves behind an extensive body of work, including stories such as 'The Crimson Circle' and 'The Flying Squad'.
