| Description: | With 'Murder at Wrides Park' this famous author begins a new series of detective novels, all of which will be taken from the 'case-book' of Ronald Camberwell, the young resourceful detective who appears for the first time in this volume.
Ronald Camberwell is thrown into his first case by the hazard of events, quite soon after he became companion to the wealthy Mr. Nicholas. He is initiated into the methods of crime detection by the experienced Chaney, that old and trusted ex-C.I.D. man. But though still an amateur, Camberwell is no mere Dr. Watson; he promises to become an accomplished sleuth in due time.
The Wrides case at the outset is as plain as a pikestaff: no police detective and no coroner's jury--however strong their loyalty--could have any doubt that Mr. Nicholas murdered his blackmailer. Then Chaney is called in by the defence, and even the hardened reader of detective fiction can have no suspicion of where the trail will take him. [Suggest a different description.] |

Author Bio for Fletcher, J. S. (Joseph Smith)
Joseph Smith Fletcher (7 February 1863—30 January 1935) was a British journalist and author. He wrote more than 230 books on a wide variety of subjects, both fiction and non-fiction, and was one of the leading writers of detective fiction in the "Golden Age".
Fletcher's first books published were poetry. He then moved on to write numerous works of historical fiction and history, many dealing with Yorkshire, which led to his selection as a fellow of the Royal Historical Society.
Fletcher wrote several novels of rural life in imitation of Richard Jefferies, beginning with The Wonderful Wapentake (1894). Michael Sadleir stated that Fletcher's historical novel, When Charles I Was King (1892), was his best work.
In 1914, Fletcher wrote his first detective novel and went on to write over a hundred more, many featuring the private investigator Ronald Camberwell.--Wikipedia.
