ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Anna Katharine Green

Anna Katharine Green nasceu em Brooklyn, Nova Iorque, em 1846 e faleceu em 1935. Em 1878 publicou a sua primeira história de crime, O Caso da Quinta Avenida (The Leavenworth Case, no título original), alcançando êxito imediato. Tendo sido uma das primeiras mulheres a escrever obras policiais, Green marcou o género com características que viriam a influenciar autores como Agatha Christie ou Arthur Conan Doyle e é hoje apelidada de «avó do romance policial». Com uma obra de mais de quarenta títulos, destacam-se livros como The Affair Next Door (1897), onde introduz a solteirona intrometida Amelia Butterworth, considerada a precursora de Miss Marple, ou The Golden Slipper and Other Problems for Violet Strange (1915), um conjunto de contos policiais centrados naquela que foi uma das primeiras mulheres a desempenhar funções de detetive particular na literatura norte-americana.
