    Edgar Wallace

    Edgar Wallace (1875-1932) was a London-born writer who rose to prominence during the early twentieth century. With a background in journalism, he excelled at crime fiction with a series of detective thrillers following characters J.G. Reeder and Detective Sgt. (Inspector) Elk. Wallace is known for his extensive literary work, which has been adapted across multiple mediums, including over 160 films. His most notable contribution to cinema was the novelization and early screenplay for 1933’s King Kong.

    • 4/5
      This 1919 thriller was suspenseful even though the plot is dated in some technical aspects (such as sending coded messages by pigeon to avoid government surveillance of the telegraph offices). The main portion of this though seemed surprisingly modern - an attempt by a terrorist to create and disseminate a bioweapon which would destroy crops (and perhaps all plant matter). Of course, being 1919, the terrorist is German but change him to an Islamic jihadist and update some of the technical aspects and it could take place today .I listened to the LibriVox recording by Don W. Jenkins - his narration was good but I find his pacing and intonation not quite what I would like it to be. Still better than the text-to-speech feature on my Kindle though!
