Tales of vengeance delivered by the hidden hand of a ruthless master of disguise
Practically everyone who has an appetite for the mystery, crime and thriller novels which were offered to the reading public during the inter-war years of the 20th century will be familiar with the substantial body of work produced by British author, Edgar Wallace. His imaginative penmanship brought forth, 'The Four Just Men', 'Sanders and Bones', 'J. G. Reeder', 'Inspector Elk' and many others. However, it was the principal character of the stories contained in this book that many authorities on the genre believe established Wallace in the highest echelon of the mystery writers of his time. The Ringer is an unrepentant anti-hero and vigilante of the most extreme type--for this nemesis does baulk at murdering his villainous victims. The Ringer is, in reality, Henry Arthur Milton, ruthless master of disguise, and it is the job of Inspector Wembury of Scotland Yard to catch him and bring him to justice, although that is easier said than done! Despite his popularity with an avid readership, 'The Ringer' only appeared in two books, the 'The Ringer' and its sequel 'Again the Ringer' which is a short story collection in which, of course, The Ringer brings a diverse number of deserving reprobates to their just desserts. Both books appear in this special two-in-one good value Leonaur edition.
