Overview

"Mr. Washington Wirth wählte zu seinen exklusiven Gesellschaften die Gäste sorgfältig aus. Trotzdem hatte Mary Lane die Einladung nur angenommen, weil Mike Hennessey sie darum gebeten hatte. Sie mochte diesen etwas untersetzten, melancholischen Mann gern. Die Leute nannten ihn immer nur den „armen, alten Mike", weil er schon öfter Bankrott gemacht hatte. Im Augenblick brauchte man jedoch kein Mitleid mit ihm zu haben, denn er war mit Mr. Washington Wirth befreundet, der sich allen Theaterleuten gegenüber sehr freigebig und hilfsbereit zeigte. Mr. Washington Wirth war ein reicher, etwas geheimnisvoller Mann. Man nahm an, daß er in Mittelengland wohnte und aus der Industrie stammte." Gröls-Klassiker (Edition Werke der Weltliteratur)

About the Author

Richard Horatio Edgar Wallace (1875-1932) was a prolific British crime writer, journalist and playwright, who wrote 175 novels, 24 plays, and countless articles in newspapers and journals. Over 160 films have been made of his novels, more than any other author. In the 1920s, one of Wallace's publishers claimed that a quarter of all books read in England were written by him. He is most famous today as the co-creator of "King Kong", writing the early screenplay and story for the movie, as well as a short story "King Kong" (1933) credited to him and Draycott Dell. He was known for the J. G. Reeder detective stories, The Four Just Men, the Ringer, and for creating the Green Archer character during his lifetime.
