Before establishing himself as a prolific and highly successful thriller writer, Edgar Wallace had come to South Africa from Britain as a young man. He was soon appointed as a foreign correspondent for Reuters and the London Daily Mail, reporting both during and in the period leading up to the Anglo-Boer War. He then accepted an offer to be the first editor of the Rand Daily Mail, but rejoined the London Daily Mail after only nine months in the South African job.
