"Bones in London" by Edgar Wallace is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around a character named Augustus Tibbetts, nicknamed Bones, who is a wealthy and somewhat eccentric young man navigating the complexities of business in post-war London. The plot sets off with the tensions surrounding shipping deals and the characters' attempts to cope with the economic instability of the time. At the start of the novel, two men, Joe and Fred Pole, are deeply troubled by their struggling shipping business, specifically their ownership of the Fairy Line, which they are unable to sell. Their conversation introduces the idea of seeking out Bones, who has inherited wealth and is portrayed as someone who is both naive and optimistic in his business endeavors. As the narrative unfolds, it highlights Bones's interaction with various characters including Fred Pole and his new secretary Marguerite, setting the stage for intrigue, business dealings, and the mix of comedic and dramatic situations that arise from their ventures in London's mercantile world.
