CAROL CARNAC was a pen name of Edith Caroline Rivett (1894-1958), who also wrote as E. C. R. Lorac and was a prolific writer of crime fiction from the 1930s to the 1950s as well as a member of the prestigious Detection Club. Her books have been almost entirely neglected since her death and deserve rediscovery as fine examples of classic British crime fiction in its Golden Age.
