John Dickson Carr

John Dickson Carr was born in 1906 in Uniontown, Pennsylvania, the son of a lawyer and congressman. He developed a passion for detective fiction as a young man and published his first novel while still in his early twenties. After marrying an Englishwoman, he lived in England for much of the 1930s and 1940s, and his deep affection for British culture, particularly its foggy streets, its gentlemen's clubs, and its traditions of fair play, permeated his work.
