Dear Arun and Holmesians,
Thanks indeed for all this info, Arun!
Did anybody know that there was a mention of JG Reeder in one of the westerns by
JT Edson? That book actually introduced me to JG Reeder, although it portrayed
him as a young man posing as a middle-aged guy and hmming and hawing simply to
make the opposition take him lightly and underestimate him. Although in that
particular book it was the American cowboys (OD Connected's floating outfit) who
were the main protagonists, JG Reeder helped to a vast extent in nabbing the bad
guys.

There is another book "J G Reeder Returns" which contains 2 long stories. I've
been lucky enough to have both the copies with me - The Mind of J G Reeder &
Reeder Returns. A series of titles by Edgar Wallace(recent reprints) have hit
the book stores but they do not contain the J G Reader series.
There are other titles featuring J G Reeder and they happen to be :
- Room 13
- The Mind of Mr J.G. Reeder
- Terror Keep
- Red Aces
- Mr J.G. Reeder Returns
- The Guv'nor
- The Man Who Passed
The good news is that all these titles are available freely on the net. They can
be downloaded from this link
http://gutenberg. net.au/plusfifty -n-z.html This website has a lot of other
titles of Edgar Wallace as well. Please explore this website as well Gutenberg's
main site to access some very rare gems which have been out of print for quite
some time.
For those who have mobile reading devices, the entire J G reeder collection is
available as an omnibus at

Dear Friends,
Edgar Wallace's creation J.G.Reeder had earned considerable fan-following in his
days, but unfortunately, the subsequent times have not been kind to him. A
collection named "The Mind of J G Reeder" published by the House of Stratus is
probably the only series of stories collected in a book concerning this
delightful and quite extra-ordinary character.
