Sanders of the River

Más información sobre el libro

1945. Edgar Wallace established his reputation as a writer of detective thrillers, a genre in which he wrote more than 170 books, with the publication of The Four Just Men. In Sanders of the River, Wallace relates the trials and adventures of Mr. Commissioner Sanders in a remote district of West Africa. Grim humour, pathos and tragedy are so skilfully blended and the incidents so vividly depicted, that it is hard to believe they are fictitious. Sanders is a remarkable personality. Keeping a watchful eye on a quarter of a million cannibal folk, his methods of administration are peculiarly his own-and peculiarly successful. (Amazon)
