Tritonia

Mr Chell is a very wealthy man. However, even his money cannot buy him a sense of humour.

When he receives a letter demanding thousands of pounds to prevent his imminent kidnap, he must decide whether this is a joke or something more serious.

A wry, sly tale, packed with twists and turns and an unexpected ending, ‘Gospel-Truth Mortimer’ is a rollicking read for fans of Agatha Christie.

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’.
