About the author

Born in London on October 22, 1866, he became one of the most prolific and widely read British writers of popular fiction in the early 20th century. Britannica notes that he left school at 17 to work in his father’s leather business and wrote in his spare time, publishing his first novel, Expiation, in 1886.

His books were known for international espionage, political tension, elegant settings, and swift pacing. Wikipedia describes him as a best-selling English novelist whose fiction featured glamorous characters, international intrigue, and fast action, and his long career produced well over 100 novels and many short stories.

He spent part of his later life in Guernsey and died in Saint Peter Port on February 3, 1946. Though often read as entertainment first, his work played an important part in popularizing the spy thriller and remains closely associated with novels such as The Great Impersonation and other tales of suspense.
