Graham M. Dean

Graham M. Dean, born Graham Morse Dean on August 10, 1904, was an American author, reporter, and newspaper editor. He is remembered today mainly for fast-moving juvenile adventure fiction with a strong newspaper sense of pace and detail.

His best-known series include stories about Tim Murphy, a flying reporter, and the Agent Nine books featuring Bob Houston, a clerk in the archives of the War Department. Public-domain editions of several titles, including The Sky Trail, Daring Wings, and Agent Nine Solves His First Case, have helped keep his work in circulation for modern readers.

Dean died on November 20, 1974. A suitable confirmed portrait image was not available from the sources checked during this conversation.
