This volume contains the 24 short stories featuring a street-wise London Metropolitan police-constable, P.-C. Lee. Written by prolific writer Edgar Wallace, creator of J. G. Reeder, and a dozen more characters in his dozens of books and hundreds of short stories, his publishers once claimed that a quarter of all books then read (in the 1910-1920's) in England were written by him. 01. - MR.
