But for the blistering June heat, Shadwell Dunn's old mansion would not have known its strangest and most sinister adventure. Three men would have died in their beds instead of in their boots. And little old Professor Ames, with wistful eyes and a mop of white hair, would never have wandered those ancient rooms, determined to save the fourth man.

Autorenporträt
Faraday Keene was the pseudonym of author Cora (Hardy) Jarrett, born in Norfolk, Virginia, in 1877. She was educated in Pennsylvania (Bryn Mawr College), at the Sorbonne, and at Oxford University. She married Edwin Jarrett in 1906, and they had three children. Cora Jarrett went on teach English and Greek. She wrote several well-received novels ("Night Over Fitch's Pond," etc.) and numerous short stories. As one newspaper review noted, "Miss Jarret [sic] signs all of her mystery and short stories with her pen name and her authentic novels with her real name" (St. Petersburg Times, Nov. 30, 1934).
