Includes Introduction by Penelope Wallace ** If you have any queries regarding this book, please don't hesitate to contact us at hello@ravenbooks. ie ** This early work by Edgar Wallace was originally published in 1927 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. 'The Hand of Power' is a tale about the sale of a desk designed by a butler who murdered his wife. Richard Horatio Edgar Wallace was born in London, England in 1875. He received his early education at St. Peter's School and the Board School, but after a frenetic teens involving a rash engagement and frequently changing employment circumstances, Wallace went into the military. He served in the Royal West Kent Regiment in England and then as part of the Medical Staff Corps stationed in South Africa. Whilst in the Balkans covering the Russo-Japanese War, Wallace found the inspiration for The Four Just Men, published in 1905. Over the rest of his life, Wallace produced some 173 books and wrote 17 plays. These were largely adventure narratives with elements of crime or mystery, and usually combined a bombastic sensationalism with hammy violence.
