About the author
Victor Lorenzo Whitechurch (1868–1933) was a British Church of England clergyman, writer, and railway enthusiast. For some years, he was vicar of the village of Blewbury, Oxfordshire, close to the major railway centre of Didcot. He also wrote novels with a clerical setting, including The Canon in Residence which has been adapted for radio and the stage; and non-fiction works on religious themes. His detective fiction was much admired by contemporary writers, including Dorothy L. Sayers, for their immaculate plotting and factual accuracy.
