    The King by Night – Edgar Wallace – 1926

    A very early edition of this Edgar Wallace classic published by Birt in 1926. Octavo, 333 pages, very clean internally, complete dust jacket albeit creased.

It is the King of Bonginda – obey!” Contains evil genius and a creature of brute terror … suppose there are still a few of those around now!

  • The Devil Man – Edgar Wallace – 1931

    The Devil Man – Edgar Wallace – 1931

    A fine copy of this Edgar Wallace classic. Published by Doubleday, Doran etc for The Crime Club in 1931. Octavo, 312 pages, stylised decoration to red end paper – unusual dust jacket, top edge stained red as required. A fine copy in a super dust jacket.

    The promotion for this book claims the best Edgar Wallace to date – it might be. The story centres around Charles Peace a burglar who resorted to murder … not regarded as a pleasant character. Starts in the 1870’s and is, seemingly, based on a real-life character ….
