Bryan Edgar Wallace (1904–1971) was a British writer.
He was named after the American politician William Jennings Bryan whom his father encountered during a trip to North America.
[1] Some of his better known novels are Death Packs a Suitcase, The Strangler of Blackmoor Castle, Murder is Not Enough, The Device, The Man Who Would Not Swim, Murder in Touraine, The White Carpet, The Phantom of Soho and The World is at Stake, among others.
Sometimes Bryan's films are mistaken for Edgar Wallace adaptations, since they are so similar in plot and style.
[2] In 1963, he appeared in a 50-minute German documentary about his father called The Edgar Wallace Story.
