The Man Who Was Nobody

A gripping diamond heist page-turner from the father of the modern thriller.

When a valuable diamond is stolen, a private investigator is sent to track him down. However, the trail turns cold when the perpetrator turns up dead. Where is the diamond, and who murdered him?

This action-packed thriller will keep you hooked until the very end. A must-read for fans of James Bond, Alfred Hitchcock, and John Buchan.

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.

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.’
