Walsh (1897-1952) was a prolific Australian author of adventure stories, although he moved to England in 1925, and concentrated on the spy and espionage genres. Under his own name, he published 58 novels, and under the nom-de-plume of H. Haverstock Hill he published five other crime adventures of the Pacific islands (including this one). WorldCat lists four other titles (besides this one), published between 1921 and 1952. He was often referred to as the Australian E. Phillips Oppenheim, or the Australian Edgar Wallace. Two (unrelated) ink signatures on front free endpaper.
