作者简介

Anna Katharine Green (1846–1935) was an American poet and novelist renowned for her pioneering role in shaping the detective fiction genre. Influenced by the works of Poe and Wilkie Collins, Green's narratives were notable for their well-plotted stories and emphasis on legal and procedural details, a technique that predated and likely influenced the 'Golden Age' detective novelists like Agatha Christie. Her first novel, 'The Leavenworth Case' (1878), was celebrated for its intricate plot and earned Green critical acclaim as well as commercial success. It was perhaps her adept use of an astute detective character, Ebenezer Gryce, that most firmly established her legacy in literary history. Gryce, an elderly New York City detective, featured in a series of novels collected posthumously in 'Detective Ebenezer Gryce - Complete Murder-Mysteries Collection: 11 Novels in One Volume'. Green's work was significant not only for her status as a female author in a predominantly male genre but also for her reluctance to confine her female characters to stereotypes, often giving them central, active roles in the unraveling of her mysteries. Her literary style, which blended the domestic with the suspenseful, was enriched by her deft handling of red herrings and adept characterization, contributions which have cemented her position as a luminary in the annals of detective literature.
