Orator

Fast-paced tales of crime and coppers from “one of the most popular writers of the early twentieth century” (Mystery Scene).

This collection presents a dozen classic detective stories that include “The Mind-Readers,” “The Sirius Man,” “The Couper Buckle,” “The Guy from Memphis,” and more featuring Chief Insp. Oliver Rater, a man of few words ironically nicknamed the Orator by his colleagues. But silent as he may be, there is much going on under the surface. These action-packed tales are written by the legendary British author Edgar Wallace, whose novels sold more than fifty million copies in his day.

Edgar Wallace

Edgar Wallace (1875–1932) was one of the most popular and prolific authors of his era. His hundred-odd books, including the groundbreaking Four Just Men series and the African adventures of Commissioner Sanders and Lieutenant Bones, have sold over fifty million copies around the world. He is best remembered today for his thrillers and for the original version of King Kong, which was revised and filmed after his death.
