This novella was created aby Edgar Wallace, a famous British author of mystery genre. Best remembered for penning the screenplay for the classic film „King Kong”, he was an astoundingly popular luminary in the action-adventure genre in the early twentieth century. „The Man Who Killed „X"” is a story packed with intrigue, treachery, assassinations, and machinations, and it highlights Wallace’s unmatched skill in setting a pulse-pounding pace. It’s all great fun and Wallace keeps the action moving along swiftly, as he always did. Wonderful entertainment and highly entertaining. If you haven’t discovered the joys of Wallace’s thrillers there is a good place to start. Highly recommended.
