Stephen Van Dyne (1888-1939) was the pseudonym of Willard Huntington Wright. This American journalist, publisher, art critic and writer was the author of a number of articles in the British Encyclopedia about theater and fine Arts and ... one of the founders of the "golden age of the detective." He graduated from Harvard University. He worked as an editor and critic for newspapers in Los Angeles, New York, and San Francisco. He has written several books on painting, literature and music. They did not bring him fame, and then Wright turned to writing detective stories. His constant hero is Philo Vance, an amateur detective, a snob, a polymath and a fan of fine arts. In addition to the series about Vance, Van Dyne wrote several off-series works and scripts, and also developed "Twenty Rules for writing detective stories." Some of his novels have been adapted into films. This volume presents the novel "The Benson Case". This sensational case was the first of many in which Philo Vance appears as a good friend of Prosecutor John F. K. Markham. The crime related to Benson's death has taken its rightful place in the annals of the New York Criminal police.
