About the author

Born on September 6, 1875, Arthur Cheney Train was an American lawyer and author who became known for legal thrillers and stories of courtroom intrigue. Reliable library records also note that he was sometimes listed as Arthur Chesney Train.

Train practiced law and served as a prosecutor before turning more fully to writing, and that real-world experience shaped the confident, detailed legal settings in his fiction. He is especially associated with the fictional lawyer Mr. Ephraim Tutt, a character that helped make his work widely popular with readers interested in both mystery and the law.

He died on December 22, 1945. His reputation has lasted largely through the lively way he translated legal knowledge into accessible, engaging stories.
