About the author
Seven Anderton (1893–1958) was an American pulp-fiction writer active from the late 1920s through the 1950s. He wrote across several popular genres, especially Westerns and detective stories, and was published in magazines including Argosy and Famous Detective Stories.
Anderton is also associated with the name Sven Anderton, and some records connect him with the name Albert Anderton. His best-known creation may be Edna Pender, a tough female private investigator who appeared in a series of stories in the early 1950s. Though largely forgotten today, Anderton produced a substantial body of entertaining pulp fiction during his career.
