Edgar Wallace was a prolific author of crime, adventure and humorous stories, whose best known creations include âThe Four Just Menâ, âSanders of the Riverâ, and âJ. G. Reederâ. Although Wallace wrote many âstand aloneâ novels it is, perhaps, for his series based material always popular with readers that he remains best known. âThe Last Adventureâ is a story packed with intrigue, treachery, assassinations, and machinations, and it highlights Wallaceâs unmatched skill in setting a pulse-pounding pace. As the novel is rather short and quite fast-paced with a lot of scenery-changes and adventures, this nice. Edgar Wallace provides a thrill of another sort!
