Edgar Wallace 
Bones 

Set in Nigeria, at the time of the British Empire, ‘Bones’ introduces us to the hapless hero of the piece. The beloved Commissioner Sanders has struck up an uneasy truce with Bosambo, the chief of the Ossori people. While Lieutenant Hamilton steps into Sanders’ shoes, the chief decides the time is ripe for some double-dealing. Enter Francis Augustus Tibbetts, a well-meaning, but calamity-prone lieutenant. While he’s always trying to help, everything seems to go wrong for him. Unfortunately for Hamilton, ‘Bones’ Tibbetts is on hand – which isn’t always a good thing. A light-hearted look at life in an Edwardian outpost, ‘Bones’ set the template for films, such as ‘Three Kings, ‘ starring Brad Pitt and George Clooney.-
