About the Author

Anthony Berkeley (1893-1971) was one of the most innovative writers of the Golden Age of Detective Fiction, celebrated for his ingenious plots, psychological insight, and sly sense of humor. A founding member of London's famed Detection Club, he wrote under multiple names-including Francis Iles-and delighted readers with mysteries that often pushed the boundaries of the traditional whodunit.Berkeley created the sharp-witted amateur sleuth Roger Sheringham, whose cases remain classics of British crime fiction, and he was among the first to explore not just "who" committed the crime but why. His groundbreaking psychological crime novels, including Malice Aforethought and Before the Fact, paved the way for modern suspense and influenced generations of mystery writers.Whether weaving a London murder mystery, a country-house whodunit, or a tale of dark psychological intrigue, Anthony Berkeley remains a cornerstone of the Golden Age mystery tradition, standing proudly alongside Agatha Christie, Dorothy L. Sayers, and Margery Allingham.
