Anne Austin était une romancière de mystère américaine dont les récits captivaient les lecteurs par leurs intrigues complexes et leur rythme plein de suspense. Passant de la romance, elle a perfectionné son art narratif pour créer des mystères captivants, dont beaucoup ont été publiés en série dans les journaux, tenant le public dans l'attente impatiente de chaque nouvel épisode. Ses romans mettaient souvent en scène le détective récurrent "Bonnie" Dundee, démontrant sa capacité à créer des enquêteurs captivants et des affaires criminelles complexes. L'approche distinctive d'Austin du genre a solidifié sa place en tant que voix notable dans la fiction policière du début du XXe siècle.
