Elizabeth Thomasina Meade Smith, 1844-1914, was a prolific author of girls stories and sensation novels. She was also an early pioneer of Young Adult literature, and is credited with creating brilliantly cunning and murderous female villains. Born in Ireland, she lived much of her life in London and wrote more than 280 titles during the course of her career. She often collaborated with other popular authors as she does here with Eustace Robert Barton. Barton, 1869-1943, was a medical doctor who wrote crime and mystery stories with scientific or medical themes; he co-authored 11 novels with Meade, of which this is the second, the first was The Arrest of Captain Vandaleur: How Miss Cusack Discovered His Trick in 1894.
