Wallace's literary output - 175 books, 24 plays, and countless articles and review sketches - have undermined his reputation as a fresh and original writer. Moreover, the author was a wholehearted supporter of Victorian and early Edwardian values and mores, which are now considered in some respects politically incorrect. In England in the 1920s Wallace was said to be the second biggest seller after the Bible. "This little autobiography is in itself a tribute to the system under which we live. There cannot be much wrong with the society which made possible the rise of J.H. Thomas or Edgar Wallace, that gave 'Jamie' Brown the status of a king in Scotland and put Robertson at the War Office as Chief of the Imperial General Staff."

After working for many years as a journalist, Wallace came to prominence with his first mystery novel The Four Just Men (1905), which was published with the ending removed as part of an advertising campaign which offered a £500 prize to readers who submitted the right conclusion. As many readers guessed correctly, this nearly bankrupted Wallace , but he made up for it subsequently with his prodigious output, producing over 170 books and two-dozen plays. In 1915 Wallace wrote his first script, Nurse and Martyr (d. Percy Moran), a privately financed film on the life of Edith Cavell . In 1927 he joined the board of British Lion to whom he sold the rights to all his works. Starting with The Ringer (d. Arthur Maude, 1928), the company released eight silent films from his stories at the rate of one a month. Wallace directed Red Aces (1929), which features his popular character J.G. Reeder, as a silent film, and followed it with
