About this ebook

J G Reeder is a shabby little man with red hair and weak eyes. However, his extraordinary mind is rapier sharp. Here are three thrilling episodes torn from his casebook: Red Aces about a man who gambles high and lives in fear; Kennedy the Con Man, reveals the impeccable mask stripped from a fiend, and finally The Case of Jo Attymer, a thoroughly intriguing mystery involving murder on London's Thames.

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.

    Considering his vast output, it is odd how few of Wallace's characters figures in series, but J.G. Reeder, an elderly-looking bank detective who encourages criminals to underestimate him, is one, and I am glad of it, because (so fr as I recall) it was a J.G. Reeder story in an anthology that introduced me to Wallace's work --though I had long known his name as a writer of "thrillers." The Reeder stores are not "thrillers' and Reeder is not the young dashing hero, but he is an agreeable detective.
