British novelist, playwright, and journalist who produced popular detective and suspense stories and was in his time ‘the king’ of the modern thriller. Partial handwritten manuscript, signed at the conclusion, “Edgar Wallace,” two pages, 10.25 x 8.25, no date. Possibly unpublished manuscript with numerous edits, about the exploits of a soldier. In part: “It is always a very pleasant duty to welcome an army return, and particularly an army return which touches the soldier as nearly as it does the withdraw of so irksome duty as picket... But on his order he has evoked a number of beautiful sentiments about the sober, gentlemanly educated and intelligent character of the men which has induced him to withdraw the pickets and place the men ‘on their honor.’...’On their honour!’—with some 400 to 500 military, regiments, & garrison police on duty! Who arrested the ‘drunken’ soldier? Who is it that prowls side streets, not only in Aldenshot but in London on the look-out for military crime?” Very good with several intersecting folds, even toning, and scattered soiling and foxing. A desirable ‘lost’ work by one of the masters of the written word.
