Best remembered for penning the screenplay for the classic film "King Kong", author Edgar Wallace was an astoundingly popular luminary in the action-adventure genre in the early twentieth century. "The Ghost of Down Hill" is an entertaining mystery novella, based on the idea that a ghost of a monk haunts a house built on top of former holy ground. This novella has upbeat tone and surprising outcome. "The Queen of Sheba's Belt" features the disappearance of a priceless belt supposedly worn by the Queen of Sheba. Seemingly the theft is not through want of money but an act to set up a rival in love. Wonderful entertainment and highly entertaining. If you haven't discovered the joys of Wallace's mysteries there is a good place to start.
