The Green Pack is a murder mystery by Edgar Wallace. Wallace was a British crime writer, journalist and playwright. Excerpt: "A low, squat, once-white structure, it consisted of three bedrooms, a bathroom, and a dining-drawing-smoking-writing room, the French windows opening from which led onto a relatively cool and shady veranda. This was quite the most attractive part of the building, overlooking as it did the calm blue waters of the bay. Stretched in a canopied deck chair, a pipe in his mouth, a long, cool drink on the wicker table by his side, a man might without difficulty forget that for hundreds of miles behind him lay trackless forests and swamps, perilous enough in themselves, but doubly so by reason of the marauding animals which peopled them and the innumerable "bugs" of known and unknown viciousness which constituted an almost inescapable series of dangers to the explorer."
