'The Englishman Konnor'

It's the title of a short story by Edgar Wallace, the 13th in a collection. I bought the book years ago second hand and it is probably buried in junk at my old house.

I wanted to read it again. I had been searching obituaries for a certain man from Yorkshire, and this brought me to the term "Englishman Connor" and I thought the author was G K Chesterton.

In it, a private detective follows a man on board a ship, kills him and drops the body, his luggage and the weapon into the sea. Very effective revenge, for crimes committed against others unrelated and unknown to him.

I've downloaded a few books by Edgar Wallace, I remember reading most of them from the library when I was a student. So I'm going to spend some time reading them again.

I was reading "The Devil Man" by Edgar Wallace and the character reminded me of the way Tommy Tooter behaves. If that person had YouTube, that is.
