Joseph Smith “J. S.” Fletcher (1863-1935) was one of the most popular English authors of the “Golden Age of Mysteries” and a prolific writer who published a total of 237 books, 120 of them mystery and detective novels. As a young journalist Fletcher reported on numerous police court and coroner’s inquest proceedings and became an authority on the old Yorkshire dialect and the many villages and towns of Northern England, publishing a history of Halifax and a six-voulme history of Yorkshire. Later, working in London, Fletcher immersed himself in the daily affairs of the various social classes and institutions of the city. This background gave Fletcher’s many novels a uniquely detailed and colorful depiction of the varied settings and local characters in his stories, which were characterized by intricate plots with unexpected but plausible twists and a sprinkling of red herrings.
