À propos de l'auteur
H. C. McNeile, better known by his pen name 'Sapper', was a prolific English author, celebrated for his adventure and thriller novels that captivated audiences in the early twentieth century. Born on September 28, 1888, in Bodmin, Cornwall, Herman Cyril McNeile served with distinction in the Royal Engineers during World War I, an experience that profoundly influenced his writing. McNeile began his literary career with stories based on his wartime experiences, which were published in the 'Daily Mail'. His literary style is often characterized by its action-packed narrative, a clear-cut dichotomy between good and evil, and a touch of British patriotism, which resonated with his readers of the post-war period. McNeile's creation of the character Bulldog Drummond became emblematic of the quintessential British hero and was featured in a series of bestselling books. 'Mufti', published in 1919, is one of McNeile's notable works, differing slightly in style by exploring more nuanced character developments while still maintaining the brisk pace and dynamic storytelling that define McNeile's oeuvre.
