About the author
Born Victor Sargent Whitman on April 5, 1901, he wrote under the name Vic Whitman and is listed by LibriVox as an American author. Public-domain listings connect him with crime and mystery fiction, especially stories built around police work, radio, and fast-moving urban intrigue.
Two of the works most readily available today are The Radio Cop and Hot Music, both preserved through Project Gutenberg and audiobook projects such as LibriVox. The surviving summaries of these stories suggest a writer drawn to crime reporting, jewel thefts, and the excitement of broadcast-era detection.
Whitman died on March 5, 1981. Although not much widely documented biographical detail seems to survive online, his fiction still offers a lively glimpse of popular suspense writing from the early twentieth century.
