'Four Square Jane' is a novel of a successful female crook who employs cunning to outwit her victims and the police. 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Edgar Wallace\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1473302986\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781473302983\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Walton Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/12\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 190\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.54lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.44d","brand":"Edgar Wallace","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48065620148479,"sku":"9781473302983","price":28.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_5e074bcd-5ebc-4d05-b323-73216c813bdc.jpg?v=1768676181","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/four-square-jane-edgar-wallace-9781473302983","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
