`I think it is the best racing thriller I have written.` - Edgar Wallace.
This novel centres of a betting syndicate involving the jovial Mr Trigger, the sinister Dr Blanter, the strange Mr Goodie, and the slippery disbarred lawyer Rustem.
Arrayed against them, representing Scotland Yard, is Chief Inspector M M Luke, and representing herself, heiress Edna Grey.

This early work by Edgar Wallace was originally published in 1929 and we are now republishing it with a brand new introductory biography. `The Green Ribbon` is a novel about a betting syndicate who find an obstacle in the form of Chief Inspector M. M. Luke of Scotland Yard. Richard Horatio Edgar Wallace was born in London, England in 1875. He received his early education at St. Peter`s School and the Board School, but after a frenetic teens involving a rash engagement and frequently changing employment circumstances, Wallace went into the military. He served in the Royal West Kent Regiment in England and then as part of the Medical Staff Corps stationed in South Africa. Whilst in the Balkans covering the Russo-Japanese War, Wallace found the inspiration for The Four Just Men, published in 1905. Over the rest of his life, Wallace produced some 173 books and wrote 17 plays. These were largely adventure narratives with elements of crime or mystery, and usually combined a bombastic sensationalism with hammy violence.
