Those who walk from Edgar Wallace straight into these pages, who have never learned from him that other and more spiritual sleuths exist who devote their days not to tracking down crime but to searching for God, will find my writing a mere riddle. But if they will have the patience to read farther, they will fall into a half-sleep; and if they will then do me the kindness of bravely continuing, there is no doubt but that a complete coma will supervene. When, however, they emerge from this mysterious state later, they can take it as a warning that the bright and breezy adventures of their favourite crook are better suited to such delicate constitutions as theirs must obviously be.
