Red aces
Three cases for Mr. J. G. Reeder, the elderly, side-whiskered investigator of the Public Prosecutor's office who claims to have a criminal mind. In Red Aces a bank clerk in love and his gambling-obsessed father are drawn into a murder marked by playing cards; Kennedy the Con Man pits Reeder against a swindler of charm and nerve; and The Case of Joe Attymar concerns smuggling and a riverside killing. Edgar Wallace published the volume in 1929, three years before his death, when his output was at its peak. The Reeder stories are often considered his best work, and this collection shows the character at full stretch across three stories of novella length. The stories are available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first one is free.
