Number Six

Description of book

James Bond meets Sherlock Holmes in this classic, high-octane, spy thriller.

When the police can’t find the evidence to put away master criminal Caesar Valentine, there’s only one man for the job.

Number Six, a secret undercover agent that operates outside the law.

The only problem is, nobody knows who Number Six is, not even Scotland Yard...

This action-packed page-turner will keep you hooked until the end. A must-read for fans of James Bond, Alfred Hitchcock, and John Buchan.

Born in London, Edgar Wallace (1875 – 1932) was an English writer so prolific, that his publisher claimed that he was responsible for a quarter of all books sold in England.

He worked as a war correspondent after joining the army at age 21, which honed his writing abilities. This led to the creation of his first book, ‘The Four Just Men.’

Wallace is best remembered as the co-creator of ‘King Kong,’ which has been adapted for film 12 times (most notably directed by ‘Lord of the Rings’ director, Peter Jackson, and starring Jack Black and Naomi Watts).

However, he leaves behind an extensive body of work, including stories such as ‘The Crimson Circle’ and ‘The Flying Squad.’
