If You Like Edgar Wallace Books, You’ll Love…
Sanders of the River was one of Wallace’s more popular books. The book sees Commissioner Sanders who is sent by the British Government to Africa to keep an eye on “cannibal folk” who think of the white man as the equivalent to unicorns as they’d never seen one until ten years ago. The book captures the feelings of the time as world powers were vying for colonial honor and control.
The aforementioned The Four Just Men was one of Wallace’s earliest hits. The book tells the tales of four men who are committed to making sure that public figures remain as upright as they are. This book sees the men threaten to kill a minister if he passes an unjust law. The minister does what he can to save himself, but whether he succeeds or not makes for an excellent and clever thriller.
