Best known for intricate British mystery novels of the 1920s to 1940s, this elusive crime writer published under several versions of the Fielding name. Even the author’s true identity seems to have puzzled later readers and catalogers.

The Eames-Erskine case : A detective story
by A. (Archibald) Fielding
About the author
Published as Archibald Fielding, A. E. Fielding, and Archibald E. Fielding, this writer is associated with a run of detective and mystery novels including The Eames-Erskine Case, which appeared in 1924. Bookseller and catalog records consistently connect those names to the same body of work.
Some reference sources identify A. Fielding as the British writer Dorothy Feilding, born in 1884, rather than a person born in 1900. At the same time, the author’s identity has been described as uncertain in later crime-fiction commentary, so it is safest to say the name was used for a now-obscure mystery novelist active between the 1920s and 1940s.
Because the attribution is not fully clear and I could not confirm a reliable portrait from the sources I found, no author image is included here.
