Synopsis

The Mind of Mr. J. G. Reeder is a collection of short stories written by British author Edgar Wallace. The book features the titular character, Mr. J. G. Reeder, who works as a detective for the Public Prosecutor's office in London. Reeder is known for his unassuming appearance, but he possesses a brilliant mind and a talent for solving even the most complex cases.Each of the stories in the collection presents a different case that Reeder is tasked with solving. The cases range from a seemingly impossible locked-room mystery to a series of murders committed by a shadowy criminal organization. Reeder uses his keen powers of observation and deduction to unravel each mystery and bring the perpetrators to justice.Throughout the book, Wallace presents Reeder as a fascinating and enigmatic character. Despite his brilliance, Reeder is often underestimated by his colleagues and adversaries alike. He is also haunted by a tragic past that has left him emotionally scarred and prone to bouts of depression.Overall, The Mind of Mr. J. G. Reeder is a gripping and entertaining collection of detective stories that showcases Edgar Wallace's skill as a writer and his talent for crafting memorable characters.'It was-but they have been doing lunatic things-what can you expect when a halfwitted weakling like Sidney Telfer is at the head of affairs? They underwrote three concerns last year that no brokerage business would have touched with a barge-pole, and they had to take up the shares. One was a lost treasure company to raise a Spanish galleon that sank three hundred years ago! But what really did happen yesterday morning?'This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This Wordsworth Edition includes an exclusive Introduction by David Stuart Davies

‘How on earth did you piece together all this?’ he asked in wonder. Mr Reeder shook his head sadly.‘I have that perversion,’ he said. ‘It is a terrible misfortune. I see evil in everything. I have the mind of a criminal.’

Let us introduce you to the enigmatic J. G. Reeder, a timid, gentle middle-aged man who carries a furled up umbrella and wears an old-fashioned flat-topped bowler hat. He is one of the great unsung sleuths of mystery fiction, created by the prolific Edgar Wallace, the ‘King of Thrillers’. Despite his insignificant appearance, Reeder is a cold and ruthless detective who credits his success to his ‘criminal mind’ which allows him to solve a series of complex and audacious crimes and outwit the most cunning of villainous masterminds.

This volume is a rich feast for crime fiction fans, containing the first three volumes in the Reeder canon: two novels, Room 13 and Terror Keep; and the classic collection of short stories, The Mind of J. G. Reeder.
