ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Mary Roberts Rinehart

Mary Roberts Rinehart nasceu em Pittsburgh, nos Estados Unidos da América, a 12 de agosto de 1876. Formada em enfermagem, cujos conhecimentos técnicos veio a aplicar com mestria nas tramas que concebeu, foi após uma queda de valores na Bolsa americana que Rinehart, vendo-se sem poupanças, começa a escrever as primeiras histórias. O seu livro de estreia, O Mistério da Escada de Caracol (1908), tornou-se um enorme êxito e é ainda hoje considerado um título pioneiro do romance policial. Responsável pelo desfecho «o culpado é o mordomo», que ficaria para sempre associado ao romance de mistério, a autora inovou e amplificou o género, destacando-se ainda com a obra O Homem da Cama n.º 10 (1909), ou a peça O Morcego, que serviria de inspiração à personagem de Batman. Morre em Nova Iorque, a 22 de setembro de 1958.
