Présentation de l'éditeur
Snow Gregory from a Lambeth gutter, and he was dead before the policeman on point duty in Waterloo Road, who had heard the shots, came upon the scene. He had been shot in his tracks on a night of snow and storm and none saw the murder. When they got him to the mortuary and searched his clothes they found nothing except a little tin box of white powder which proved to be cocaine, and a playing card the Jack of Clubs !H is associates had called him Snow Gregory because he was a doper, and cocaine is invariably referred to as snow by all its votaries. He was a gambler too, and he had been associated with Colonel Dan Boundary in certain of his business enterprises. That was all. The colonel knew nothing of the young mans antecedents except that he had been an Oxford man who had come down in the world. The colonel added a few particulars designed, as it might seem to the impartial observer, to prove that he, the colonel, had ever been an uplifting quantity. (T his colonelcy was an honorary title which he held by custom rather than by law.) There were people who said that Snow Gregory, in his more exalted moments, talked too much for the colonels comfort, but people were very ready to talk unkindly of the colonel, whose wealth was an offence and a shame.

He published The Four Just Men (1905) and Sanders of the River (1911). After a bid as Liberal MP for Blackpool, Wallace moved to Hollywood, where he worked as a script writer for RKO studios.
