The Crook in Crimson

Edgar Wallace is continuing to introduce readers to Mr. J.

• G.
• Reeder, one of the least glamorous of all fictional detectives.
• Mr.
• J.
• G.
• Reeder is neither a police detective nor an amateur crime-fighter, nor is he a private detective.
• In fact he is employed by the Bank of England, and acts as a kind of consultant to Scotland Yard.

• Wallace was a British author who is best known for creating King Kong.
• Wallace was a very prolific writer despite his sudden death at age 56.

This is vintage Wallace, with no great depths but a good deal of humor and plenty of engaging goings-on along Wallaces beloved Thames. In total Wallace is credited with over 170 novels, almost 1,000 short stories, and 18 stage plays.
