About the author
Born Graham Morse Dean on August 10, 1904, he was an American author, reporter, and newspaper editor. Sources available online also identify him as a newspaper publisher, and note that he died on November 20, 1974.
Dean is remembered for creating the Tim Murphy stories about a flying reporter and the Agent Nine series featuring Bob Houston. His books ranged across aviation adventures, juvenile mysteries, and Westerns, showing a taste for speed, action, and practical detail.
That mix of newsroom experience and storytelling gave his work a direct, lively style. Public-domain listings and reader guides still point to several of his books today, including The Sky Trail, Agent Nine Solves His First Case, and Slim Evans and His Horse Lightning.
