Edgar Wallace (1875–1932) was een Engelse journalist en schrijver van misdaadthrillers en toneelstukken. Zijn ouders waren acteurs. Vlak na zijn geboorte werd hij geadopteerd door een visboer uit Londen. Hij begon zijn schrijverscarrière als oorlogscorrespondent in Zuid-Afrika voor de Londense krant de Daily Mail gedurende de Tweede Boerenoorlog. Daarna legde hij zich toe op misdaadverhalen: hij zou in totaal 175 boeken schrijven, naast 24 toneelstukken en een grote hoeveelheid journalistiek werk. Wallace wordt gezien als 'uitvinder' van de moderne thriller. Zijn helden zijn over het algemeen politiemensen en geen amateur-detectives zoals toen gebruikelijk. Veel van zijn boeken zijn verfilmd (bron: Wikipedia, licensie: CC-BY-SA).
