Stephen Van Dine is the pen name of Willard Huntington Wright. This American journalist, publisher, art scholar, and writer authored a number of articles for the British Encyclopedia about theater and the visual arts, and… one of the founders of the “Golden Age of Detective Fiction.” He graduated from Harvard University. He worked as an editor and critic at newspapers in Los Angeles, New York, and San Francisco. He wrote several books on painting, literature, and music. They didn’t bring him fame—so Wright turned to writing adventure novels. His recurring character is the amateur detective Philo Vance: a snob, an erudite, and a lover of the fine arts. Besides the series about Vance, Van Dine wrote several standalone works and screenplays, and developed the “Twenty Rules for Writing Detective Stories.” Some of his novels were adapted for film.

The solution to the mystery is helped by a card poker game…
