From the coast of West Africa to the streets of Europe, the
peculiar Augustus "Bones" Tibbetts is unknowingly pulled into
various financial plots and schemes. As part of Edgar Wallace's
Sanders of the River collection, Bones in London follows the
endearing military man as he haplessly juggles business and
politics. Augustus Tibbetts, also known as Bones, has left the
coast of Africa for the bustling streets of England. As the new
managing director of Schemes Ltd., he suddenly finds himself at the
center of multiple mishaps. Along with his trusted assistant Miss
Winfield, the duo encounters questionable characters and unexpected
ploys. Despite the circumstance, Bones stays true to his nature and
finds a way to come out on top. Wallace uses the affable
protagonist to highlight corrupt business practices within London.
It is an issue that affects both upper and lower-class citizens
making it relatable to a broader audience. With Bones' unique
perspective and eccentric voice, he balances the dark tone with
genuine humor and heart. Bones in London is one of many entries in
the author's vast catalog, which includes Bones (1915), Lieutenant
Bones (1918), and Bones of the River (1923). Each book is a
serialized version of short stories originally published in The
Weekly Tale-Teller, The Windsor Magazine, and The 20-Story
Magazine. For more than a century, these classic titles have
delivered mystery and intrigue for readers of all ages. Wallace's
work was integral to the creation of contemporary crime drama. With
an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript,
this edition of Bones in London is both modern and readable.
