The murder book of j. g. reeder

Laying the foundations for the likes of 'Silence of the Lambs,' starring Anthony Hopkins, 'The Murder Book of J.G. Reeder' follows an investigator with the mind of a criminal. From the outside, our hero looks downtrodden and unremarkable. However, beneath his docile demeanour operates a fiendish brain; one that could be employed for good or for evil. In this book, Wallace gives us an anti-hero that is initially hard to like but becomes completely understandable towards the end. 'The Murder Book of J.G. Reeder' is a great read for fans of the characters Hannibal Lecter and Sherlock Holmes. Born in London, Edgar Wallace (1875 – 1932) was an English writer so prolific, that his publisher claimed that he was responsible for a quarter of all books sold in England. Leaving school at the age of 12, Wallace made his first steps into the literary world by selling newspapers on the corner of Fleet Street. He worked as a war correspondent after joining the army at age 21, which honed his writing abilities. This led to the creation of his first book, 'The Four Just Men.' Wallace is best remembered as the co-creator of 'King Kong,' which has been adapted for film 12 times (most notably directed by 'Lord of the Rings' director, Peter Jackson, and starring Jack Black and Naomi Watts). However, he leaves behind an extensive body of work, including stories such as 'The Crimson Circle' and 'The Flying Squad.'
