About the author
Victor MacClure (1887–1963) was a Scottish author and artist. Reliable reference sources describe him as a prolific writer of detective novels and contemporary thrillers, and note that he also published under the pen name Peter Craig.
He is also remembered in speculative fiction circles for Ultimatum—published in the United States as The Ark of the Covenant—along with other imaginative work from the 1920s. His range seems to have been unusually broad, stretching from crime fiction to fantasy and science-fiction themes.
Later accounts of his work also connect him with painting and with Good Appetite My Companion, a memoir-like book centered on gastronomy and a lifetime of enthusiastic eating and travel. A clearly verified portrait image was not available from the sources I could confirm, so no profile image is included.
