Edgar Wallace 
River of Stars 

Commissioner Sanders is back again! However, this adventure sees him set against the backdrop of London rather than Africa. When a bunch of small-time crooks decide to try and steal a diamond mine, Sanders must decide whether he’s up to the job, or whether to hand it over to someone more qualified. Full of twists and turns, ‘The River of Stars’ sees our hero at his most vulnerable and introduces a bevy of fascinating characters. A film adaptation of ‘The River of Stars’ was made in 1921.This is a superb read for fans of the ‘Sanders of the River’ series. Prior to the success of ‘King Kong’, which he co-created, Edgar Wallace published a selection of tales about Commissioner Sanders and his adventures in Africa under British rule.
