About the Author

Sam McCarver has had a lifelong interest in history and mysteries, going back to his early readings of Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes stories and Agatha Christie's mysteries. He writes "history-mysteries," incorporating real people of the era, such as literary and political figures, into his fictional stories. The first of his Darnell Mysteries was set on the Titanic in 1912, "The Case of Cabin 13," in which Captain E. J. Smith and Chairman Bruce Ismay employ him to solve the mystery of suicides in cabin 13 on their other ships, and he meets his future wife, Penny, who becomes friends with Madeline Astor, young wife of multi-millionnaire John Jacob Astor IV. Then on the Orient Express in 1914, in "The Case of Compartment 7," he investigates sightings of a woman's apparition in that compartment, with Agatha Christie, Prince Carol II, and Mata Hari aboard the train. In the third book, in London's dark world of psychics in 1916, in "The Case of The 2nd Seance," he works with Arthur Conan Doyle searching for Prime Minister Lloyd George's teen-aged daughter, who vanished during a seance. And in "The Case of The Ripper's Revenge," he is aided by playwright George Bernard Shaw in Darnell's dangerous plan to apprehend the killer.
