The book exemplifies the thrilling, sensationalist fiction that Wallace was known for, reflecting societal tensions and the fascination with crime during his era. Edgar Wallace was a prolific British writer who, in the early 20th century, vastly contributed to the crime and detective genres. His experiences as a journalist ingrained in him a deep understanding of public intrigue and the darker aspects of humanity, which permeate his narratives.

"Double Dan" is a recommendation not only for fans of crime fiction but also for those intrigued by character-driven plots that explore the duality of man. Wallace's innovative storytelling will captivate readers, providing a compelling experience that resonates with contemporary themes of identity and moral ambiguity.

It’s every parent’s nightmare—getting a call during the school day from their teenager, huddled in a classroom as the sound of bullets echo in the background. When gunmen invade a Brooklyn school, that nightmare becomes a horrific reality. Talking a suspect into sending his hostages out alive is NYPD Detective Gemma Capello’s specialty. Alerted to a school shooting at her nephew’s high school, she is one of the first officers on-scene. Detective Sean Logan and the Apprehension Tactical Team arrive next and immediately enter the school to apprehend the two shooters, while Gemma remains outside to help students evacuate. But as time stretches on, and there's no word of her nephew, her fear builds that he is one of the lost. Instead of a quickly-resolved mass shooting, one of the two shooters holes up with a group of students and their teacher as hostages, and Gemma steps in to negotiate for their survival. Floors away and armed with only her wits and the sound of her voice to convince him, Gemma fights for control of the situation even as tactical leadership pressures her for a more aggressive strategy. But for Gemma, it’s not about a quick solution. It’s about moving heaven and earth to bring everyone in that classroom home. And she’ll do whatever it takes to achieve that goal.
