Bones in London
Edgar Wallace
Classics for Your Collection: goo.gl/U80LCr --------- Better known as a mystery writer, Wallace, who churned out quite a lot of literature (174 novels, 24 plays!), also did a series about an eccentric London businessman named Augustus Tibbetts, nicknamed Bones, and this is one of those books. Essentially, Bones in London is a series of loosely connected short stories, all with the same basic plot, chapter after chapter. The hero launches into some entrepreneurial venture, usually something that looks like a very bad deal or a swindle, and then manages to survive and usually come out amassing a great profit. Most of the time this is due to luck, although occasionally he does demonstrate clever thinking. He is madly in love and incredibly shy around the beautiful (and smart) young secretary he hires, though she seems to remain blissfully unaware despite all the obvious clues. Still, as the novel progresses, we do see some development on that front. The many diverse swindles help one get a sense of the capitalistic spirit in England when it still had an Empire, and the heavy use of slang is fun for those who enjoy that sort of linguistic examination.
