Giới thiệu về tác giả

Josephine Tey (1896–1952) was the pen name of Elizabeth Mackintosh, a Scottish author best known for her contributions to the mystery genre. Her writing is often acclaimed for its keen psychological insights and the vividness of her character portrayals. She was born in Inverness, the daughter of a fruiterer, and attended Anstey Physical Training College in Birmingham. Before becoming a full-time writer, she worked as a physical training instructor. Tey began her writing career with plays under the pseudonym Gordon Daviot, gaining some measure of success. Her first crime novel, ‘The Man in the Queue’, was published in 1929, introducing the character Inspector Alan Grant, who would appear in several of her later works. Among her most famous novels is ‘The Franchise Affair’ (Musaicum Vintage Mysteries), which stands as a quintessential example of Tey’s literary style. The novel unearths the complexities of post-war England while scrutinizing the nature of justice and the perversion of truth in public perception. Unlike the conventional whodunit, this book does not revolve around a murder but rather an accusation of kidnapping, offering a penetrating look at the English class system and regional tensions. Tey’s writing is often marked by subtle narrative techniques and a focus on the undercurrents of society, which has cemented her as a distinguished figure in the crime fiction canon.
