About the author

Jacques Futrelle (1875–1912) was an American journalist and mystery writer, best known for his contributions to the detective genre. Born in Pike County, Georgia, Futrelle began his career as a sports writer before eventually shifting his focus to fiction. With a sharp intellect and a penchant for intricate puzzles, he created the character of Professor Augustus S. F. X. Van Dusen, a logician who utilized his formidable mental prowess to solve complex mysteries. This character, also known as ‘The Thinking Machine, ‘ was featured in stories compiled in the expansive collection, ‘Professor Augustus Van Dusen: 49 Detective Mysteries in One Edition.’ The stories of Professor Van Dusen often involve locked-room mysteries and other seemingly unsolvable scenarios, challenged only by Van Dusen’s trademark question, ‘Is it beyond the wit of man to solve?’ Futrelle’s literary style emphasizes logical deduction, clever plot twists, and the interplay of intellect over circumstance, trademarks that have influenced the detective genre profoundly. Unfortunately, Futrelle’s promising career was cut short when he perished in the sinking of the RMS Titanic in 1912. Despite his untimely death, Futrelle’s legacy endures through his cerebral detective tales, which continue to captivate readers and reflect his significant contributions to mystery fiction.
