This early work by Edgar Wallace was originally published in 1933 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. 'The Green Pack' is a novel adapted from a successful play by the playwright Robert Curtis. 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.

This early work by Alexander Woollcott was originally published in the early 20th century and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. 'Long, Long Ago' is a work in which the famous critic tells perhaps-true anecdotes about the famous people he came in to contact with. Alexander Humphreys Woollcott was born on the 19th January, 1887 in New Jersey, America and was a critic and commentator for The New Yorker magazine. One of New York's most prolific drama critics, Woollcott was an owlish character whose caustic wit either joyously attracted or vehemently repelled the artistic communities of 1920s Manhattan.

KILLING INNOCENCE, the second installment in Merit Clark’s award-winning Denver-based mysteries, takes homicide detective Jack Fariel deep into the world of human trafficking.\n“How could four young women simply disappear? One similarity between them—girls no 
one cared about, no one would look for, no one would miss. Perfect prey.” A brutal zealot for hire. A sadistic manipulative millionaire. A minister with deadly secrets.And dead girls discarded in Denver’s back alleys.\nThe body of a young woman, murdered and discarded in a snowstorm, leads Jack to the discovery of a vicious criminal network with ties to the Middle East. From the elegant mansions of Denver’s elite to the despair of young, undocumented girls with no future, Jack must unravel a complex sex trafficking operation that reaches into all levels of society.\nAs Jack gets closer to the truth, he’s hunted by an adversary with no remorse, no conscience, no hesitation. But Jack won’t let these young innocents down. He’ll stop the trafficking even if it costs him his life.\n“The author treats the topic of human trafficking with intelligence and respect. While parts of the story may make some readers uncomfortable (like a 12-year-old victim), Clark brings awareness to the issue without resorting to graphic or excessive violence.” –Kirkus Reviews\n“Merit Clark has crafted a superb work of mystery and detective fiction with plenty of clever twists and exciting plot points for fans of the genre to follow. . . . The work crosses over the gritty and cozy genres really well to produce a read that all kinds of mystery fans are sure to love.” ~Readers’ Favorite Five Stars\n“This fictional account of sex trafficking has one of the most complex and well-developed plots on this subject that I have ever read. It also has some of the nastiest characters committing crimes against young women, some still children, for the most unexpected reasons i.e. not every offender or murderer who is killing innocents is doing it just for money.” ~Readers’ Favorite Five Stars
