Beschreibung

In "Bones of the River," Edgar Wallace presents a gripping narrative that intertwines crime, mystery, and adventure set against the backdrop of the African landscape. Wallace employs a vivid, suspenseful style characterized by his meticulous attention to detail, which immerses readers in the complex interplay between civilization and primal forces. The novel, rife with intrigue and tension, reflects early 20th-century themes of colonialism, exploration, and the enigmatic allure of exotic locales, all while weaving a suspenseful plot that keeps readers on the edge of their seats. Edgar Wallace, a prolific English writer and journalist, drew upon his extensive experiences traveling through Africa to craft this tale. Known for his deep understanding of human nature and the psychological motivations behind crime, Wallace's background as a war correspondent and a writer for sensational newspapers heavily influenced his literary output. His innate ability to blend thrilling content with thoughtful social commentary sets his work apart in the genre of detective fiction. "Bones of the River" is essential reading for enthusiasts of classic crime literature and those intrigued by tales of adventure. Wallace's intricate storytelling and rich character development not only entertain but also provoke thoughtful reflections on the nature of morality in a rapidly changing world. Dive into this enthralling adventure, and uncover the secrets hidden within the depths of the river.

    Hugh Mercer has come to a small town in Ontario, far away from his broken career, broken marriage, and broken life in New York. He's expecting to take advantage of what he's sure will be a peaceful place in the middle of winter to begin to make some sense of the situations he's left behind. Before he has a chance to settle into his rented farmhouse, a strange woman appears on his doorstep and makes a startling prediction: Elizabeth Goode, a local, is about to disappear under bizarre circumstances and her life is at risk. Mercer needs further information, but as quickly as she appeared, the stranger is gone. 
     
    Within a few days, Elizabeth Goode does indeed vanish from a café in town and all the witnesses have different accounts of the event. Her life now depends on the skills Mercer honed in the New York Police Department as a homicide detective and the down-to-earth abilities of local police officer Alice Morrow. Together they work to solve the mystery of the disappearance and get to Elizabeth before she is murdered; but they, too, are troubled by their own need for forgiveness, their desire for justice, and their passion for each other.
