Más información sobre el libro

A pioneer of American detective fiction, Anna Katharine Green combined her legal knowledge with a flair for intricate plotting in her novels. Initially aspiring to be a poet, her early works went unrecognized, leading her to write her celebrated novel, The Leavenworth Case. Over her career, she published around 40 books, becoming a bestselling author. Despite her success in a male-dominated genre, Green held conservative views on women's rights and distanced herself from the feminist movements of her time.
