Description

A British Mystery Classic! One of the best whodunits, or more aptly howdunits, and locked room mysteries ever written! Two men, Assistant Commissioner T. X. Meredith, a man of unorthodox though successful methods of detection and his best friend, mystery writer John Lexman, investigate the unexplained 'locked door' murder of Remington Kara. Kara, an extremely wealthy man, feared himself a target of murder and made his bedroom into a "lock box". When Kara is found dead in his safe-like room, Meredith must uncover how the ingenious challenge presented by the locked room was overcome. Edgar Wallace was a prolific British crime writer, journalist and playwright, who published 175 novels, 24 plays, and numerous articles in newspapers and journals. Over 160 films have been made of his novels, more than any other author. Loved by millions! Engage yourself with this brilliant mystery of the how-done-it variant!

The Clue of the Twisted Candle
This thriller by Edgar Wallace is a perfect example of the Edwardian era's suspense novels which were the most popular form of fiction after the pulp romances of that time. It depends upon twists and turns and unexpected surprises and keeps the reader wondering what's next. It also includes an unflappable hero and a thoroughly despicable villain (an Albanian aristocrat with an unlimited thirst for power and honor). Reading it today is a lot of fun and gives one a sense of that bygone era.

The four just men
Modern authors can learn much from this book by the late Edgar Wallace. It is an intriguing plot,captivating to the very end. The reader finds a love/hate relationship with these 'off the wall' protagonists who of high moral character themselves are also lethal in the resolving of their motives.
Captivating reading for the mystery buff.

The Four Characterless Men
If you are the Saint fans, you'll be also interested in "The Four Just Men". They are also a kind of "Modern Robin Hoods" who fight against the injustice beyond the reach of the Law. I read some Edgar Wallace's short stories before and they were splendid. This book is enjoyable, but not so good as I expected. Unlike the Saint, the Four Just Men lack outstanding indivisualities that attract readers. Indeed they are nondescript and distinguishable only by names. When more than one heros appear, they should display different characters or abilities.

The Casebooks of Mr J. G. Reeder: Book 2-Red Aces, Mr J. G. Reeder Returns, The Guv'nor & The Man Who Passed

Leonaur

List Price: $21.99
Price: $21.99

Description

This is the second volume in Leonaur's collected tales about the mild mannered investigator from the Department of Public Prosecutions-Mr J G Reeder. Edgar Wallace created several characters about whom he wrote a series of stories, but few have captured the public imagination more than Mr. Reeder himself. This book contains another substantial helping from Mr Reeder's casebooks including Red Aces, Mr J. G. Reeder Returns, The Guv'nor & The Man Who Passed. All the Reeder stories are gathered together in two matching Leonaur volumes-available in softcover or hardcover with dust jacket-making them a delight for both new enthusiasts and collectors alike.

Customer Reviews

The Casebooks of Mr J. G. Reeder: Book 1-Room 13, The Mind of Mr J. G. Reeder and Terror Keep

Leonaur

List Price: $23.99
Price: $23.99

Description

Edgar Wallace's famous-though inconspicuous detective

This is the first volume of the complete collected stories featuring Mr. J G Reeder of the Department of Public Prosecutions. Edgar Wallace's sleuth-whose territory is the London of the 1920s-is an unlikely figure, more bank clerk than detective in appearance, ever wearing his square topped bowler, frock coat, cravat and muffler, Mr Reeder is usually inseparable from his umbrella. With his thin mournful face many might mistake him for an undertaker, but appearances can be deceiving. It is the mind of Mr J G Reeder that his greatest asset and that which the criminal fraternity have most to fear. Although-on occasions-he is not averse to substituting his umbrella for a long barrelled automatic pistol when the situation demands it! In this first volume you will find Room 13, The Mind of Mr J. G. Reeder and Terror Keep-a veritable feast for detective fiction enthusiasts.
