Autorenporträt
Edgar Wallace was a prolific British writer born on April 1, 1875, in Greenwich, London. A commanding figure in early 20th-century literature, he had a professional oeuvre spanning everything from war correspondence to screenplays, but he is chiefly remembered for his detective and crime novels. As a creator of the iconic character King Kong, Wallace's flair for the suspenseful and the spectacular has earned him a lasting place in popular culture. 'Tam o' the Scoots,' showcases his diverse narrative skill by exploring the heroic endeavors of a Royal Flying Corps air mechanic during World War I. Wallace's literary style is marked by fast-paced plots and a dexterity with dialogue that bring scenes vivaciously to life. Unfortunately, his career was cut short when he passed away suddenly from undiagnosed diabetes and double pneumonia on February 10, 1932, in Hollywood, California, leaving behind a legacy of over 160 novels, 957 short stories, and numerous plays and articles. His works continue to enthrall readers and provide material for countless adaptations in cinema and television, underscoring his role as a cornerstone of crime and adventure writing.
