Edgar Wallace, born on April 1, 1875, in Greenwich, London, established himself as a prolific writer in the field of crime fiction, reporting, and screenwriting. Initially rising from a modest background, his relentless work ethic catapulted him into literary prominence. Wallace's early career included serving as a war correspondent during the Second Boer War for Reuters and the Daily Mail, honing his skills in the precise narrative that later colored his crime stories. He possessed an extraordinary ability to write quickly and prodigiously, which resulted in an extensive bibliography that immensely contributed to the detective fiction genre. His writing is known for its suspenseful plots, memorable characters, and the occasional touch of humor, which helped to humanize the otherwise grim subjects he explored. Among his works, '90 Crime Novels: Complete Collection' stands as a testament to his prodigious output and influence on 20th-century crime literature. Such a collection showcases Wallace's adherence to the mechanisms of classic mystery structuring, while also reflecting the social dynamics of his time. Despite his demise on February 10, 1932, Wallace's legacy lives on through his vast array of novels, plays, and stories that continue to enthrall readers with their pursuit of justice and resolution to the darkest of human entanglements. His work has also seen adaptations into numerous films and television series, cementing his reputation as a master storyteller beyond the written word.
