  • Richard Horatio Edgar Wallace was an English writer.
    Wallace was such a prolific writer that one of his publishers claimed that a quarter of all books in England were written by him.
    As well as journalism, Wallace wrote screen plays, poetry, historical non-fiction, 18 stage plays, 957 short stories, and over 170 novels, 12 in 1929 alone.
    More than 160 films have been made of Wallace's work. In addition to the creation of King Kong, he is remembered as a writer of 'the colonial imagination', for the J. G. Reeder detective stories, and for The Green Archer serial. He sold over 50 million copies of his combined works in various editions, and The Economist describes him as "one of the most prolific thriller writers of [the 20th] century", although the great majority of his books are out of print in the UK, but are still read in Germany.

    Set against a backdrop of horse racing, this tale of a struggling racehorse owner who decides to "throw" a race, delves into how one single action can have far-reaching consequences.
