New York: A L Burt. An early, perhaps first American, edition of this action thriller from the master of 'B-movie' suspense, Edgar Wallace - illlegitimate son of an actress; adopted at nine days by a Billingsgate fish-porter; started work on Fleet Street aged eleven (selling newspapers); banned as a war correspondent by Lord Kitchener; writer of over 170 novels; made millions and lost them though gambling; died in Hollywood, writing the screen-play for 'King Kong'. And the book is good, too! Approx. dimensions are 19 x 13 cms (7.5" x 5") and with 333 pages plus publisher's cata;ogue. The book's condition, in my opinion, is good, with mostly sound covers (5cm worn edge at bottom front) and tight binding. The text is reasonably clean, with the odd mark and a very slight dampstain to the fore-edges. Pencilled owner's inscription on front free endpaper. A very readable and economical early or first edition. . Good. Original Cloth. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall.
